When the Lights Go Out Lyrics

When the lights go out, everybody has fun
When the lights go out, everybody runs to a safe place
When the lights go out, everybody's afraid
When the lights go out, everybody starts to pray
Starts to prayMonsters 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 hideHey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alley way
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eyeNo 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' nowhereGonna run outside
What's there to see
Just one big shadow there to comfort me
There to comfort me, there to comfort meHey, let's turn the night into day

Let's start a fire in an alley way
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eyeJust 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 funHey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alley way
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eyeHey, let's turn the night into day
Let's start a fire in an alley way
Let's all go crazy by and by
And let's all pray to the cat's eyeHey
Hey
Hey, oh yeah
