Oingo Boingo
When The Lights Go Out
[Verse 1]
When the lights go out
Everybody has fun, baby, baby, baby
When the lights go out
Everybody runs to a safe place
When the lights go out
Everybody's afraid, baby, baby, baby
When the lights go out
Everybody starts to pray
Starts to pray...

[Pre-Chorus]
Monsters and madmen
All come alive
When the dead start walking
There's no place to hide
There's no place to hide

[Chorus]
Hey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alleyway
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eye

[Verse 2]
No one can be trusted
When the lights go out
People act real crazy
People start to shout
People huddle together
Try and hide their fear
People party down
But they ain't goin' nowhere
They ain't goin' nowhere
[Pre-Chorus]
Gonna run outside
What's there to see?
Just one big shadow there to comfort me
There to comfort me...
There to comfort me

[Chorus]
Hey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alleyway
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eye

[Verse 3]
Just common folks
Like you and me
Turn into mobs
That get so crazy

[Pre-Chorus]
Prowl the streets like cats
Out for the hunt
Breaking all the windows
Just because it's fun
Just because it's fun
Just because it's fun
[Chorus]
Hey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alleyway
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eye
Hey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alleyway
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eye

[Outro]
(Hey) Hey, yeah
(Hey) Hey, yeah
(Hey) Hey, oh, yeah
(Hey...)
