Don’t Turn Out the Lights [live, WFMU 1992]

Go!

Don't turn out the lights tonight
I need a can of Raid
Ants will crawl inside my ears
And nibble on my brain
There's something by the window
And it wants to get inside
It's waiting for the dark
So it can eat me up alive

You never listen when I call
I end up sleeping in the hall
'Cause you're too busy with important things, and
You smile and say that you believe
But you're not listening to me
They're coming out to get me
Go!

1-2-3-4!

Why don't you believe me?
It's not all inside my head
Something wants to eat me
It lives underneath my bed
Well I gotta keep these lights on
Or I'll never get to sleep
There's something in this bedroom
And it's giving me the creeps

I try to tell you that I'm scared
You act like you don't even care
You just pat me on the head and walk way
You're gabbing downstairs on the phone
You leave me in the dark alone
I'm gonna stay up all night long

Don't turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights
Don't turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights
Don't turn out the lights, don't turn out the lights
Don't turn out the lights

You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care

You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care, you say you care
You say you care

No, but you don't care
No, but you don't care

1-2-3-4!
