Mark Lenover Leave The Lights On Lyrics

Back when the snakes were still biting at his heels
He'd wake up every morning with the shakes and the chills
He'd say, “Leave the lights on! Leave the lights on! It's dark enough as it is.”

He never grew accustomed to the burns and the pills
And the towering, boney shadows perched like gargoyles on stilts
He said, “Leave the lights on! Leave the lights on! It's dark enough as it is.” Hе'd concentrate on the blеached white walls
And the bed would begin to shake
And the ghosts would come to the evil ones
And the fear came in waves

Send up a prayer for the wicked at heart
But don't run out among them or they'll tear you apart
Always leave the lights on
Leave the lights on
It's dark enough as it is
