Lyrics Don't Turn Out the Lights - Screeching Weasel

Don't Turn Out the Lights

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 too busy with
Important things
You smile and say that
You believe but
You’re not listening to me
They’re coming to get me
Why don’t you believe me
It’s not all inside my head
Something wants to eat me
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
I’m gonna stay up all night
Don’t turn out the lights
