[Intro]
Turn out the light, turn out the light
Turn out the light, I'll be safe tonight
Turn out the light, turn out the light
Turn out the light, I’ll be safe tonight

[Chorus]
I said now, Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me holding on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Put the gun to my head
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me hanging on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Won't wake me from the dead

[Verse 1]
Get me out of L.A., Hollywoods frying my mind
Let me go, let me go
Get me back to Gotham while it's time at the trial
Spread the show, woh-ooh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I say, Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me holding on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Put the gun to my head
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me hanging on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Won’t raise me from the dead
[Verse 2]
I said I pulled the trigger and the dog was still high
Chico never, he's too clever
The bullet didn't kill me near as much as my life
What a joke, woh-ooh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I say, Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me holding on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Put the gun to my head
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me hanging on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Won't raise me from the dead
I said, Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Kept me holding on
Quaaludes, Quaaludes
Put the gun to my head

[Bridge]
We-e-e-ei
I said I had to do it
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oh
Well, those Quaaludes wouldn't cool it (cool it, cool it)
[Outro]
Turn out the light, turn out the light
Turn out the light, I'll be safe tonight
Turn out the light, turn out the light
Turn out the light, I'll be safe tonight
