Verse 1
Taking the time to turn off the TV
I've been dressed and ready to go
the clock's stricken 8 and the sun's going down
I wait by my open window
the smell of the smoke from the end of a fire
night time is coming too fast
gotta get out with enough time to get there
midnight the spell will be cast
Chorus
It's time
let's go
Turn the lights down
haunted
this house
sing the dark sound
it's time
midnight
turn the lights low
take me
darkness
hear the wind blow
Verse 2
the twigs snap below as my feet hit the ground
the minute hand creeps past nine.
Jumped my fence once the streets are all silent
sneak past the end of town sight
last to the woods and it's already ten
and the moon give s a faint eerie light
time rushes on as it reaches 11
now the house is in sight
Chorus
Bridge
climb the walls to the roof find the holes break on through
I explore pitch black rooms taking steps through the gloom
hear the noise of the night hope the bats do not bite...
*oooooooooooo...oooooooooooooo*
climb the walls to the roof find the holes break on through
I explore pitch black rooms taking steps through the gloom
hear the noise of the night hope the bats do not bite
somewhere clocks start to chime, midnight's here...
and it's time
Chorus
