Lyrics[]
Stop! Don't touch that switch!
Nighttime's the wrong time to play like this
When the lights are out I want to shout
"Who's that going out?"
It's not something you can always see
I know it's something that's surrounding me (Surrounding me)
I can feel the chills
I know it's real
So it ain't no mystery
When you turn out the lights
And you know you're not alone
Something isn't right
You can feel it in your bones
It's a creaking in the stairs
The windows blowing closed
Raising up your hairs
And something's getting close
I'm afraid of the night
(It's kinda dark in here)
(This is my worst fear)
(I feel something's near)
Can you turn on the lights?
(It's kinda dark in here)
(This is my worst fear)
(Get me out of here!)
Ooo, I'm afraid of the night
Ghosts flying between the walls
Frankenstein is way too tall
There's a thing at the end of the hall
Who now am I supposed to call?
I know that I ain't crazy
I know I'm not insane
But the moon is full
The moon is out
And zombies want my brain!
When you turn out the lights
And you know you're not alone
Something isn't right
You can feel it in your bones
It's a creaking in the stairs
The windows blowing closed
Raising up your hairs
And something's getting close
I'm afraid of the night
(I'm afraid of the night)
(I'm afraid of the night)
(I'm afraid of the night)
Can you turn on the lights?
I'm afraid of the night
(I'm afraid of the night)
(I'm afraid of the night)
(I'm afraid of the night)
I'm afraid of the night
Who turned off the lights?
That is not funny
Look, whoever you are, show yourself!
Because I have a very, very large bat
And I will use it, so help me - ah! Get off! Ah!
When you turn out the lights
And you know you're not alone
Something isn't right
You can feel it in your bones
It's a creaking in the stairs
The windows blowing closed
Raising up your hairs
And something's getting close
I'm afraid of the night
(It's kinda dark in here)
(This is my worst fear)
(Get me out of here!)
Can you turn on the lights?
I'm afraid of the night
(I'm afraid of the night)
(I'm afraid of the night)
(I'm afraid of the...)
