Lyrics

[Verse 1] Yeah, I ain't afraid of the dark I ain't worried about the savages loose in the night But you show me the things I've done and, girl, you know I get ch-ch-chills all down my crooked spine [Chorus] Kill the lights Kill the lights Kill the lights I've seen too much If so below, then as above Lord knows I've seen enough [Verse 2] It's crystal clear and uglier than I thought Desperate and lonely juggernauts Illuminate the filth With the glow of your righteous heart Shine a light upon the world And I'll scurry back to the dark [Break] Lights on (Hey, hey) Rats out (Hey, hey) Somebody turn on the light (Hey, hey) Get the rats out (Hey, hey) [Verse 3] The uppers lower me into the hive The lights are low, us weeds come alive Downers pick me up into a ditch I cannot scratch this never-ending itch Salvation is a hell of a thing Salvation is a hell of a thing Salvation is a hell of a thing Pull the dust up over your eyes [Bridge] I don't believe I'll have a revelation with all these secrets of mine And if I ever have a holy vision, it's going to be two at a time I got so much soul in me that I'm barely alive I've been down and out for so long I can't be revived [Verse 4] Yeah, I ain't afraid to be long lost I ain't bothered by the silence, the cold, or the roads that stretch for miles But you show me the man I've become and, girl, you know I want to tie up a rope and crack my crooked spine [Chorus] Kill the lights Kill the lights Kill the lights I've seen too much
