Lights Out Lyrics

Lights out, shoot up the station
Tv's dead where's there to run?
Watch everybody come undone (lights out)
Won't make it easy, won't make it fun
Won't let them see now, how they have one

Still I'll go another round

Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)

Wiped out, no concentration
They got us basking in a storm
I watch it as it loses form, I doubt
They even see me, guess what I want
A casualty but I am up front

And I know what it's about

Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)

I'm still here shaking my head
The one you can't account for
I keep just one step ahead
There's no place to run

Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah

Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)

Darlin'
Don't got to worry you're locked in tight
Darlin' (must be worth it 'cause the more)
(I try the more it gets uneven)
Now don't you worry turn out the lights (I can shake it I keep thinking)
(But it's with me for a reason)

Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah
