  • When the wind, behind our eyes swell
    Starring down all, who generalize well
    A chemical change of the spirit
    Will be the exchange for our visit

    Putting more makeup on the masks that we wear
    Turning our nightlights on in the daytime to scare

    If we say that (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    If it's a game, well (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out

    If we enter, through the front door
    With the keys we stole the night before
    Now we have right to be the masters
    Of the tangles of disaster

    Ladies and gentlemen it's time to unveil
    If this is the moment now to ask do we dare?

    If we say that (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    If it's a game, well (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    If we survive this (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    So delegate it! (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out

    Turning our nightlights on in the daytime to scare
    If this is the moment now to ask do we dare?

    If we say that (we want it)
    If we say that (we want it)
    If we say that (we want it)
    If we say that (we want it, we want it)

    If we say that (we want it)
    If it's a game, well? (we want it)
    If we survive this (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    If we say that (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    If it's a game, well (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    If we survive this (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out
    So delegate it (we want it)
    We only want it with the lights out Writer/s: Brian Aubert, Christopher Guanlao, Garret Lee, Joseph Lester, Nicole Lynn Webber
