There's a lamp in my room
And it won't turn on for anyone but me
Not because I think I'm special
Just because I'm the only one who can
Figure it out

And this lamp, it stays on
'Cause it's owned in part by the electric company
But nobody else can know that
Just because I'm the only one who can
Figure it out

I like it when you turn the light on, baby
Figure it out
I'm afraid of ghosts

And I know that I'll never be alone
(I like it when you turn the light on, baby)
That's the way these things go
(Figure it out)
I'm afraid of ghosts

There's a lamp in my room
And it won't turn on for anyone but me
Not because I think I'm special
Just because I'm the only one who can
Figure it out
I like it when you turn the light on, baby
Figure it out
I'm afraid of ghosts

And I know that I'll never be alone
(I like it when you turn the light on, baby)
That's the way these things go
(Figure it out)
I'm afraid of ghosts

And I know that I'll never be alone
(I like it when you turn the light on, baby)
That's the way these things go
(Figure it out)
I'm afraid of ghosts

Okay, so now that I got this lamp to turn on
I'm not entirely sure I can get it to turn off
It's like, you know, some kind of allegory for my life
And how things, if they're going really well
I tend to make them flip over backwards and go like shit
But maybe this time, I can keep it on, I guess
