Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Keeps his finger on the trigger
You know he can't stand the day
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
[Verse 3]
Keep the blind down on the window
Ah, keep the pain on the inside
Just watchin' the dark
Just watchin' the dark
[Verse 4]
And he might laugh but you won't see him
As he thunders through the night
Shoot out the lights
Shoot out the lights
[Verse 5]
In the darkness the shadows move
In the darkness the game is real
Real as a gun
Real as a gun
[Verse 6]
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
