It's safer to stay with your own
It's only a natural instinct
'Cause sometimes the people you fear
Come wearing the friendliest faces

Only to make you feel you're
The last one there when the party's over
And even the person you love
Has turned you away in the end

So tell me the truth of your heart
Please tell me, please tell me
I'm haunting the basement again
Turn your light on
Turn your light on me

So tell me the truth of your heart
Please tell me, please tell me
I'm haunting the basement again
Turn your light on
Turn your light on me

I'll tell you a dream that I had
I was down at the baseball diamond
And seeing you smiling beside
Watching the Moon at the treetops

Laughing and backing away
Saw your dark eyes shine like the city skyline
And then I just sat there alone
Unable to wake up or walk home

So tell me the truth of your heart
Please tell me, please tell me
I'm haunting the basement again
Turn your light on
Turn your light on me

So tell me the truth of your heart
Please tell me, please tell me
I'm haunting the basement again
Turn your light on
Turn your light on me
