Turn the Lights Off

Don’t go in there, you’ll become one

Freaky creatures, monster party

Eyes of yellow, scales and feathers

Tails and tethers, turn the lights off

Bend the nightmare, you control it

Artful dodger, easy does it

Shut the closet, get under the covers

Snakes and lovers, turn the lights off

Everybody likes to get taken for turns

To see how bright the fire inside of us burns

And everybody wants to get evil tonight

But all good devils masquerade under the light

Here’s the pinky, there’s the kinky

Everybody complicate it

Man and woman, baby child

Calm and wild, turn the lights off

Don’t remember (Day’s gone) what we look like (Night’s on)

Younger holding (Day’s gone) one another (Light’s passed)

Paper colors (Day’s gone) dangle streaming (Night’s on)

Tangle screaming (Light’s gone), turn the lights off

Everybody likes to get taken for turns

To see how bright the fire inside of us burns

And everybody wants to get evil tonight

But all good devils masquerade under the light

La-la, La-la, La-la, La-la-la

La-la, La-la, La-la, La-la-la-la

Can’t they take it? Should be stronger

Books abandoned, breathe the water

Mind distracted (Bad girls), sons and daughters (Good boys)

Out for slaughter (Bad guys), turn the lights off

Sparkles and shines on the water (Bet you’ve got a bone to pick with me)

Seeps through the cumulus brume (Bet you’ve got a bone to pick with me)

Tingles and tears while we’re gazing (Bet you’ve got a bone to pick with me)

Vanishes soon after bedtime for good (Bet you’ve got a bone to pick with me)

Don’t you like it? (Day’s gone) I know I do (Night’s on)

How about you? (Day’s gone) What do we know? (Light’s passed)

Tiny patterns (Day’s gone), hypnotizing (Night’s on)

Terrorizing (Light’s gone), turn the lights off

Everybody likes to get taken for turns

To see how bright the fire inside of us burns

And everybody wants to get evil tonight

But all good devils masquerade under the light

Chroma diamonds twinkle brightly

Dance in darkness, blow the nights off

Sleepy child, spark desire

Walk the fire
