Lyrics

In the dark, who can see his face? In the dark, who can reach him? He hides like a child He hides like a child Keeps his finger on the trigger You know he can't stand the day Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights Keep the blind down on the window Ah, keep the pain on the inside Just watching the dark Just watching the dark Ah he might laugh but you won't see him As he thunders through the night Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights In the darkness the shadows move In the darkness the game is real Real as a gun Real as a gun As he watches the lights of the city And he moves through the night Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights Shoot out the lights Ah, shoot out the lights
