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 and 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 to busy
with important things you smile and say that
you believe but you're not listening to me
and now they're coming to get me why
don't you believe it's not all inside my
head something wants to eat me and it
lives underneath my bed i gotta keep the
lights on or i'll never get to sleep
cause 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 away you're gabbing downstairs
on the phone you leave me in the
dark alone and now i'm gonna stay up
all night don't turn out the lights
