I'm takin' all your little toys away

You don't have any say so in your future

The pretty colors and the shiny lights

Do we just chase whatever we desire?

Oh silent night

Oh holy night

Sometimes you see me

Sometimes you don't

You'll get to know me better

(After a walk in the dark)

The monster in the mirror

(We'll take a walk in the dark)

Woah ? take a walk in the dark

Woah ? take a walk in the dark

I'm not afraid to close my eyes at night

I'm not aftraid of what my dreams will show me

I saw a fish that had a human head

I saw some things that I would like to show you:

The broken glass

This car's on fire

Open the cages

And set them free

Mine eyes have seen the glory

(I took a walk in the dark)

It ain't no bedtime story

(We'll take a walk in the dark)

Woah ? take a walk in the dark

Woah ? take a walk in the dark

Oooh

Who will help ya' now?

Surrender,

My love

Burn baby burn

Let it all come down

Jesus, Mary and the Holy Ghost

Took one look and said, "Hey, we're lost!"

"How the hell do we get outa here?"

They shit their pants, they got so scared

No matter who you are

(Ya need a walk in the dark)

The sweetest thing I ever saw

(I took a walk in the dark)

(Woah...I took a walk in the dark)
