Daddy always said
These are the 88 keys to pain
And daddy always said
Rinse down the
hurt before it stains
But daddy never said
that after this not much remains
If only he told her to
play her life instead of shame
When the lights go down
And the world's asleep
She plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
She's haunted by
a whiskey melody
When she plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
No one understands
These are her 88 keys to pain
And no one ever sees her
Rinse down the hurt
before it stains
But now she's finally realized
Not much of her remains
If only she knew
how to play her life
like she plays her shame
When the lights go down
And the world's asleep
She plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
She's haunted by
a whiskey melody
When she plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
Daddy always said
these are the 88 keys to pain
Oooh yes Oh huh
88 (88 keys to pain)
88 (88 keys to shame)
88 (Oh that's all she has)
When the lights go down
And the world's asleep
She plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
She's haunted by
a whiskey melody
When she plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
When the lights go down
And the world's asleep
She plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
She's haunted by
a whiskey melody
When she plays piano in the dark
Piano in the dark
She plays in the dark
