Lyrics for 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 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
