(C. Murphy/Sloan)
I suppose I've seen you three times now
And I guess that I'm
Wondering how
You keep the boys at bay
I have a feeling that they
Are wondering too
I've seen you with your hair down at least five times
And always wondered
What makes a man commit crimes?
But even I would sometimes
If it weren't for the likes of you
And your glasses
Your hideous glasses
When you remove them
I would rather skip my classes and be caught
Than to entertain the thought
That someday you'll just put them on again
But I can make the best of it until then
Still I know you go deeper than your beauty
You go well above and beyond
The call of duty
To your country and your school
But I grew up too cool
I'm like the rest of them
With our thumbs up our asses
If you call I will come
But I'm about as quick as molasses
When I dream of you
You're not wearing your glasses
La la la la...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 pray
Monsters & Madmen
All come alive
When the dead start walking
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 alley way
Let's all go crazy by & by
And let's all pray to the cat's eye
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
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
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
