Lyrics

It’s a quiet room with a hard wood floor
neon sign by the bar and a big brass bell on the door
When the clock hits nine someone’s counting time
There may be a reason and there may be a rhyme
If you go where she goes then you know you will set yourself free

When The Muse Comes Out
When The Muse Comes Out
When The Muse Comes Out
and the Boys and the Girls they all play

There’s a gentle roar from the house next door
as you walk inside you hear people crying for more
She might start slow with a healing touch
Or come on strong like a teen in a rush
when she’s done, everyone has begun to get what they need

It could be any place at all
in a tiny room or a great big hall
All you need to do is answer her call

You might feel alone like your life’s a dial tone
And you don’t feel like knitting or sitting alone by the phone
well, you don’t have to wait or stand by a gate
and you’re never too old and it’s never too late
you know if you go, she will show you the light of your soul

When The Muse Comes Out
When The Muse Comes Out
When The Muse Comes Out
and the Boys and the Girls they all play
