When The Lights Go Out - Oingo Boingo

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
