And so what if it lasts for the day or it goes away in a month? There's no air in here we'll mark our fears on charts And let the robots make the art Now we're green as pickles always ?ckle Soft yet brittle bittersweet but tart The kids have grown fangs they sleep through the day And they come out to prey right after dark Into thin air each year more disappear Falling victim to the vampires in our park Now the meanest little bat-winged freaks Will bite us in our sleep and leave a mark And they're waiting on the outside of town Every night we're praying there ain't no more around Knelt before the crosses on the walls of our houses There's a ticking like a clock beneath the floor in the ground And dogs are barking Outlets all are sparking All the walls are shaking Everything is breaking Everything is breaking down A slow haze ?nds we're changing our ways Since we have no need to pray anymore We've replaced our faith with fear over the years And now we lock ourselves indoors This electronic box collects our thoughts And speaks our minds much better than before And they're waiting on the outside of town Every night to prey but now there's no one around Burning up the crosses that they've hung upside down They strike-out like the clock that marks tonight's witching hour Our walls are shaking Everything is breaking All the doors are locked And no ones even talking They're out way past the curfew They're hiding behind the curtains Everybody's certain Yes everyone is certain They saw something moving there behind the curtains
