[Intro: Drum-and-bass male MC, low over the sub, the strobe ticking] Lights on, lights off, count what you see One more step every time it goes black on me [Verse 1: Drum-and-bass male MC, rapid menacing flow, bars locked to the break] Warehouse by the rail yard, Halloween, half past one Fog machine coughin' and the strobe set to stun Every flash is a photo and the dark is a blink Everybody in a costume with a glow stick and a drink Then a flash caught a figure by the speaker stack, tall In a coat nobody wore when we came down the hall Next flash, closer, and I never saw it walk Next flash, closer, and it never moved at all Selector on the decks never lookin' up once Drum and bass so heavy nobody felt it come [Hook: Drum-and-bass male MC, full break, menacing drum-and-bass hook] It only moves between flashes, so keep the lights on Only walks in the dark, so don't you blink till it's gone Keep it bright, keep it white, keep it hittin' till dawn It only moves between flashes, so keep the lights on [Verse 2: Drum-and-bass male MC, faster, every bar on the snare] Now it's ten feet off and I can tell it ain't a guy Got a grin like a zipper and a nothin' in the eye Watched it pass a girl dancin' and she shivered in the heat Every time the strobe went dark it was quicker on its feet So I'm climbin' up the truss with the cable in my teeth Gaffer tape and a prayer and two hundred underneath Jammed the strobe on solid and I made the warehouse noon Now it's frozen in the middle like a statue in the room And the crowd think it's a costume, they been posin' by its side It ain't moved a single inch, but it's starin' at me, wide [Bridge: Drum-and-bass male MC, strobe hold, the break stops and one white-noise tone holds four bars like a light stuck on, then the drums crash back] Don't blink, don't blink, hold the switch, hold it white Every hour on the truss is an hour of light Sun come up at seven, I can see it through the vent Just me and the switch and a thing that never went [Hook: Drum-and-bass male MC, full break, menacing drum-and-bass hook] It only moves between flashes, so keep the lights on Only walks in the dark, so don't you blink till it's gone Keep it bright, keep it white, keep it hittin' till dawn It only moves between flashes, so keep the lights on [Verse 3: Drum-and-bass male MC, coldest, every bar spat on the break] Six fifty-eight and the windows goin' gray Half the crowd went home and the other half stayed Seven on the dot and the sun comin' through Then the generator coughed and the lights went too Now it's black in the warehouse and I'm countin' to two And I hear a coat movin', and it's movin', and it knew [Final Hook: Drum-and-bass male MC, full break, menacing drum-and-bass hook] It only moves between flashes, so keep the lights on Only walks in the dark, so don't you blink till it's gone Keep it bright, keep it white, keep it hittin' till dawn It only moves between flashes, so keep the lights on [End]
