Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don’t go in there
you’ll become one
Freaky creatures
monster party
Eyes of yellow
scales and feathers
Tails and tethers
turn the lights off
Bend the nightmare
you control it
Artful dodger
easy does it
Shut the closet
get under the covers
Snakes and lovers
turn the lights off
[Chorus]
Everybody likes to get taken for turns
To see how bright the fire inside of us burns
And everybody wants to get evil tonight
But all good devils masquerade under the light
[Verse 2]
Here’s the pinky
there’s the kinky
Everybody
complicated
Man and woman
baby child
Calm and wild
turn the lights off
Don’t remember
what we look like
Younger holding
one another
Paper colors
tangle streaming
Tangle screaming
turn the lights off
[Chorus]
Everybody likes to get taken for turns
To see how bright the fire inside of us burns
And everybody wants to get evil tonight
But all good devils masquerade under the light
[Verse 2]
Younger holding
one another
Paper colors
tangle streaming
Tangle screaming
turn the lights off
[Chorus]
Everybody likes to get taken for turns
To see how bright the fire inside of us burns
And everybody wants to get evil tonight
But all good devils masquerade under the light
[Verse 3]
Can’t they take it
Should be stronger
Books abandoned
breathe the water
Mind distracted
sons and daughters
Out for slaughter
turn the lights off
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Sparkles and shines on the water
Seeps through the cumulus brume
Tingles and tears while we’re gazing
Vanishes soon after bedtime for good
[Verse 4]
Don’t you like it
I know I do
How about you
What do we know
Tiny patterns
hypnotizing
Terrorizing
turn the lights off
[Chorus]
Everybody likes to get taken for turns
To see how bright the fire inside of us burns
And everybody wants to get evil tonight
But all good devils masquerade under the light
[Guitar ending]
