Everything seemed normal at first
Then it hit like a hammer in the dead of the night
First impressions couldn't be worse
With no reason to stammer, we set darkness alight
Something's living inside the wall
Stand by the phone in case they call
There's a darkness within this town
Where shadows reside
From dusk until dawn
When the whole world is upside down
And there's nowhere to hide
You have to hold on
To keep from slipping in the dark
Drop your toys; let's head for the hills
We won't need no protection if we just use our mind
Late at night, it's giving me chills
Suffering misdirection, can't afford to lose time
Read the messages in the lights
Just hope it barks worse than it bites
There's a darkness within this town
Where shadows reside
From dusk until dawn
When the whole world is upside down
And there's nowhere to hide
You have to hold on
To keep from slipping in the dark
If you want us to find you
Give us a sign of where to go
Trust that your friends are behind you
Just listen to the radio
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go?
Should I stay or should I go?
There's a darkness within this town
Where shadows reside
From dusk until dawn
When the whole world is upside down
And there's nowhere to hide
You have to hold on
To keep from slipping in the dark
