Don't Turn Out The Lights

Screeching Weasel

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
