[Verse 1]
The camera pans across the room
And finally comes to rest upon an old picture frame
The photo shows a man in hat
A dog at heel, the man is fat
The dog is the same

[Chorus]
Crying
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
I can't stand the dark anymore

[Verse 2]
A P.O.V. of man in carbon monoxide fumes are choking him
His face turns pink
And now we see him winding down
The window streaked excretion brown
We watch him sink

[Chorus]
Crying
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
I can't stand the dark anymore
[Verse 3]
The shot a wide angle now
Now a man is banging on the door
Of a chrome elevator
Lights go out, no air inside
Get no lift from this lost ride
On a cracked generator

[Chorus]
Crying
Let me out
Let me out
Let me out
I can't stand the dark anymore

[Verse 4]
Now focus out
The lift goes down
Night creeps in
The screws go round
Blood runs cold
And now we stare up from our hole
Theme tune in, the credits roll
The story's told

[Outro]
Let us out
Let us out
Let us out
Let us out
Let us out
Let us out
Let us out
Let us out
Someone's gotta let me out
