[Verse 1]
Lights out, here comes the night
As the darkness falls over the light
Lights out, there goes the day
And this fear that comes won't go away

[Chorus]
And I'm losing track of time
In the corners of my mind
And I'm living out my private suicide (Lights out!)

[Verse 2]
Lights out, I lost myself
In the space between Heaven and Hell
Lights out, finding my way
Did I waste my time losing the way?

[Chorus]
And I'm losing track of time
In the corners of my mind
And I'm living out my private suicide (Lights out!)

[Bridge]
Lights out
Lights out, here comes the night
As the darkness falls over the light
Lights out, I lost myself
In the space between heaven and hell

[Chorus]
And I'm losing track of time
In the corners of my mind
And I'm living out my private suicide (Lights out!)

Green Day

Formed in East Bay, California in 1986 and still going strong today, Green Day is one of the biggest punk rock acts in the world. Along with other punk bands in California such as The Offspring, Sublime, Bad Religion and Rancid, they have been credited with popularizing and reviving mainstream interest in punk rock in the U.S. in the 90s.

First starting in 1986 as Sweet Children, longtime friends Billie Joe Armstrong (guitar and lead vocalist) and Mike Dirnt (bass guitar) teamed up with John Kiffmeyer to produce their debut EP 1,000 Hours. They eventually dropped the name Sweet Children and called themselves Green Day due to the band members' fondness for cannabis (it even inspired a song featured on their first album) and for their second studio album Kerplunk they replaced Kiffmeyer with German-born drummer Tré Cool, who had been drumming since the age of 12 in a punk band, The Lookouts.

It was their 1994 record Dookie that sent the band to stardom and gave them mainstream success. Dookie, alongside their following albums Insomniac (1995) and Nimrod (1997) were certified double platinum. Eventually, the band started to fall in popularity with their 2000 record Warning which only reached gold.
