Black-out, the power's been tripped

Better not slip, watch your step

Quiet, someone might hear

They know that you're there

'Cause your flashlight's dim and flickering

Holy mother run for cover

Hot on my shoulder

Far from over

It goes on, on, on, on, on

Fright night, won't leave you alone

Fright night, you may never get home

Dead night, the chicks are coming to roost

You hear the most horrible sounds

Your heart, how heavy it pounds

You fear the worse is yet to come

Listen, what's that shadow on the ceiling

Who's that, whispering your brain sick

Who's there, hanging by my window

Swinging patiently

The taste that's been left in your mouth

Of rot but for acid a drought

Your head, you will never empty it out

Listen what's that shadow on the ceiling

Who's that fingering my brainstem

Who's there hanging round my window

Swinging patiently

Come no closer brisket choker

Boxed dog scratching

Earth collapsing

Sky is gone, gone, gone, gone, gone,

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone,
