Lyrics:
Superenigmatix, there's one hiding in the attic
And it's getting all ecstatic 'cause it goes on automatic
When the lights go out...
There's one in the TV and it's waiting there to please me,
And I've got to take it easy 'cause I know that it can see me
When the lights go out...
Inside, outside, watching me both night and day...
Sometimes I wish I could make them go away...
Sometimes when I'm dreaming
I awake to find I'm screaming
'Cause they've taken all the meaning
From the book that I was reading
When the lights went out...
I know it seems outspoken
But I'd love to see them broken,
No more orders,
No more slogans,
No more keeping my eyes open
When the lights go out...
Inside, outside, watching me both night and day...
Sometimes I wish I could make them go away...
Superenigmatix, always amateur dramatic
And they're trying to get me at it
But I think I'm going to kick them in!!!
