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
