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 me   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
