[Intro] (Ooh, yeah…) Lights go out, heartbeat starts Something’s moving in the dark I hear footsteps down the hall But I’m not afraid at all… [Verse 1] Midnight, shadows on the wall Something’s breathing when I call I turn around, nobody there But I can feel it in the air Cold wind crawling down my spine Red eyes hiding in the night Every corner, every door Makes me wonder what’s in store I hear a whisper say my name Then the hallway lights just change Something’s coming, getting close I’m running from a ghost [Pre-Chorus] My heart is racing My hands are shaking But I keep moving through the fear The night is calling The darkness watching But I refuse to disappear [Chorus] I’m dancing in the dark tonight Running from the things I see Monsters creeping left and right But they’re never gonna capture me Lights flash, heartbeat Something’s lurking underneath Scream loud, don’t freeze Fear ain’t gonna get the best of me Whoa-oh, I’m alive Whoa-oh, feel the fright If the shadows wanna chase me Let ’em chase me through the night I’m dancing, dancing Dancing in the dark tonight [Verse 2] Movie playing on the screen Something evil walks between Every frame and every scene Now it feels too real to me The killer’s standing down the street Footsteps matching every beat I close the curtains, lock the door Then I hear a knock once more Is it real or is it just My imagination running wild? Either way, I’m wide awake And I’m ready for the chase [Pre-Chorus] My heart is racing My hands are shaking But I keep moving through the fear The night is calling The darkness watching But I refuse to disappear [Chorus] I’m dancing in the dark tonight Running from the things I see Monsters creeping left and right But they’re never gonna capture me Lights flash, heartbeat Something’s lurking underneath Scream loud, don’t freeze Fear ain’t gonna get the best of me Whoa-oh, I’m alive Whoa-oh, feel the fright If the shadows wanna chase me Let ’em chase me through the night I’m dancing, dancing Dancing in the dark tonight [Post-Chorus] (Hey!) Run, run, run! Can you hear them coming? (Hey!) Run, run, run! But I’m not afraid of nothing! Ooh, the night is alive Ooh, but so am I Turn the music up louder And let the monsters try! [Bridge] Maybe fear is just a shadow Maybe darkness isn’t strong Maybe every scary monster Only lives until the dawn So if something’s in the hallway Let it knock against my door I’ve been scared of it before I’m not scared anymore (No, no, no…) I’m not scared anymore! [Dance Break] Boom—boom, heartbeat Boom—boom, underneath Lights out, eyes wide Something’s coming from behind Whoa-oh! Don’t look back! Whoa-oh! Hear that crack! Whoa-oh! Here we go! Into the darkness, let’s go! [Final Chorus] I’m dancing in the dark tonight Running from the things I see Monsters creeping left and right But they’re never gonna capture me Lights flash, heartbeat Something’s lurking underneath Scream loud, don’t freeze Fear ain’t gonna get the best of me Whoa-oh, I’m alive Whoa-oh, feel the fright If the shadows wanna chase me Let ’em chase me through the night I’m dancing, dancing Dancing in the dark tonight [Outro] The movie ends… The lights come on… But something’s still outside… (whisper) “Are you afraid?” (beat returns) Not anymore. I’m dancing in the dark.
