(Did the grid just trip? Check the emergency panel) (Nothing. The whole basement is dead. Grab the light) The basement lights went out at ten I pulled the breaker down again The copper switches gave a flash I heard a distant metal crash The exit stairwell locked us in The cold air crawling on my skin I hear a scraping by the wall Nobody answers when I call The red bulb on the doorway died There is no place for us to hide Blackout, hit the breaker panel (Blackout) Running down the basement tunnel (Basement tunnel) Blackout, keep the beam in sight (In sight) Nobody getting out tonight (Not tonight) I found a crowbar on the floor I jammed it right into the door The rusted hinges did not budge My boots are sinking in the sludge The yellow beam began to fade I should have stayed inside the shade A pair of footsteps on the grate I know we met a nasty fate The red bulb on the doorway died There is no place for us to hide Blackout, hit the breaker panel (Blackout) Running down the basement tunnel (Basement tunnel) Blackout, keep the beam in sight (In sight) Nobody getting out tonight (Not tonight) (Step into the dark) Blackout, hit the breaker panel (Blackout) Running down the basement tunnel (Basement tunnel) Blackout, keep the beam in sight (In sight) Nobody getting out tonight (Not tonight) The battery is running cold A scary story being told (Blackout, yeah) (Stay right here)
