Casting Doubts

[verse 1] Late one night I was doing my rounds When I heard some very odd sounds Like from an old sci-fi show a warble I figured it was just reflecting off the marble So I got to walking to see what I see It came from everywhere how can that be [violin refrain] [Verse 2] I was late night security at this mall I had figured I had seen them all From wanna be robbers hiding in the bath To the workers who couldn’t do math This was the first time I ever heard A sound like this not gonna lie, it had me scared [chorus] When the dark creeps in And you feel you just can’t win What do you do What do you do Find some way to light up the night Give that fear something to fight [piano solo] [Verse 3] Have you heard A rising tide raises all boats What if I told you Rising fear casts all doubts Causing you to lose your thoughts Maybe even scream and shout [Verse 4] I got to thinking what this could be Aliens, animals, something I can’t see Wandering the halls, I had my taser out I wanted to just get out In this job, you had to find out So I was out to scout [Catchy cello solo] [Bridge] Could you imagine What might be there Something in the dark To give you a scare So are you afraid This is how nightmares are made [Verse 5] Down the hall I shuffled Around corners it came muffled Slowly I sought, what I saw was naught Down a hallway it finally was caught My fear so high that I just shot I electro fried a chicken I electro fried a chicken [piano solo] [Verse 6] That was all it was Just some farmers prize Putting out this mournful buzz It was a good size But I stopped it in its tracks Now I know I cracked [chorus] When the dark creeps in And you feel you just can’t win What do you do? What do you do? Find some way to light up the night Give that fear something to fight [catchy cello solo] [Verse 7] First thing that came to mind Was it cooked, taser fried If I put some pepper spray on it Would it be spicy after it was lit Could you cook it that way Try some Taser Fried Chicken today [Verse 8] Then I got to think’en How did it get out here this chicken Ain’t no farms around No animals allowed for miles around So how did this get here That was when I felt the fear [Bridge] Now I imagine What else is there Waiting in the dark To do more than scare Now I am afraid of the dark This is how nightmares are made [Violin break down] [End]
