lyrics

We should keep the lights on all night
I need to look you in the eyes
Something so beautiful
Should not be disguised
Don’t darken the shine
Baby you and I need to illuminise

We should keep the lights on all night
I need to see this paradise
It’s not because I’m terrified
Of the dark.
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Imagine if that was why I was singing this.

Tell the DJ to turn the lights up, please (As high as possible)
I just want to see your beautiful face (under 80 Watt fluorescent bulbs - Say Watt?)

Why do nightclubs have to be so dark?
It’s irresponsible. What if someone loses an earring?
I’m just making a practical remark
Unrelated to the concept of goblins appearing.

We should keep the lights on all night
There’s no such thing as way too bright
It’s not because I’m terrified
Of the dark and permanently scarred
By the time I once saw a goblin man in the forest

Biting your lip, do you mind if I slip into
Something more comfortable? (Night vision is essential)
I’ve tried eating carrots, but turns out they’re not
A sight-improving vegetable. (Completely ineffectual)

Don’t you think the mood would feel more right
If we replace those scented candles with this industrial light?
And do you have any talismanic runes?
Specifically ones that might ward off a goblin.

We should keep the lights on all night
Cause I’m haunted by an evil sprite
He wants to see me dead tonight,
He’s lurking in the dark, I hate to have to ask
But if it came down to it would you die in my place?

I’m the Goblin of your nightmares
You think I’m here for death scares
But I just want to dance
So give me one more chance
Keep the lights off baby
And I’ll show you how we do this

Had to do a deep-dive on TWRP's back-catalog ever since I heard Friends of the Blues, and let me say, it DOES NOT disappoint. This is the soundtrack I want for my life. complexitron
