I'm on, 2, 3, 4

Wanna do your best tonight

Check, check

Cold day, stuck in my head

Wargames, interstates

Restless adolescence

Presidential motorcades

You know daddy's blowing words

Made of cigarette smoke

Mommy's always down on her knees

Late night, cocktail parties

Let the children do as they please

Yeah, Earthquakes and revelries

Me and my sister burning up in the room

We turn the black light on, turn the black light on

Nobody knows, nobody shows

Or really gives a damn

Me and my sister turn the black light on

Warm day, sun is shining

Ice trays, fake IDs

Stumbling towards the end of the

20th century

And it's hot enough to melt the ice caps

But you wanna make the summer stay

Sister, boyfriend calling,

Won't give me the time of day

Sometimes the guard goes down

Me and my sister burning up in the room

We turn the black light on, turn the black light on

Nobody knows, nobody shows

Or really gives a damn

Black light on, turn it on

Me and my sister turn it up in the room

We got a flashlight on, got the black light on

Nobody knows, nobody shows enough to give a damn

Me and my sister turn the black light on

Nothing is certain, time slips away

The world may be ending

But it ain't happening today, today, today,

oh-oh-oh

Latchkeys and memories

That never fade away

Me and my sister burn it up in the room

We turn the black light on, turn the black light on

Nobody knows, nobody shows

Or really gives a damn

Me and my sister turn it on, turn it on

Me and my sister getting stoned in the room

We turn the black light on, turn the black light on

Nobody knows, nobody shows

that we can give a damn

Me and my sister turn it on and on and on

Black light on

Come on

Black light on
