Danny Elfman
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, 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 by 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
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)
