Wait for the BlackoutThe Goo Goo Dolls

Don't you ask me to come out
Out when the sun does shine
Gonna stay here with curtains drawn
In darkness you'll be mine

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Well welcome to my basement flat
No windows to see through
With darkness closing in, my friend
We both know what to do

Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night
Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Yea!

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

Come roam with me upon this earth
Keep us both alive
Know everything has lasted here
And ne'er would survive

Let's wait for the blackout
The lights are too bright
Let's wait for the blackout
Wait for the night

In darkness there is no sin
Light only brings in fear
There's nothing to corrupt the eyes
There is no vision here
At first you may find it strange
But do not go away
The darkness holds a power that you won't find in the day
There is no vision here
[Repeat]

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
