[Verse 1]
You could have gone off the Bloor Street viaduct
I could have got run down in the street
You could have got botulism anytime
I could have gone overboard into the sea

[Chorus]
Anything can happen
To put out the light
Is it any wonder
I don't wanna say goodnight?

[Verse 2]
I could have been hit by a falling pane of glass
You could have had shark teeth write "finit"
We could have been nailed by some vigilante type
In a case of mistaken identity—obviously

[Chorus]
Anything can happen
To put out the light
Is it any wonder
I don't wanna say goodnight?

[Bridge]
We could have been lynched and tarred and feathered
Been on a plane that crashed in flames
Might have done the neutron melt together
But here we are just the same!
[Verse 3]
You could have been daggered in the dead of night
You could have been gassed inside your car
I could have been walking in the open fields
And been drilled through the head by a shooting star

[Chorus]
Anything can happen
To put out the light
Is it any wonder
I don't wanna say goodnight?
Anything can happen
To put out the light
Is it any wonder
I don't wanna say goodnight?
