Darkened Room

You all can keep your convent

That life don't suit me well

This is my finest moment

Here's another story you can tell

When I was just a baby

An orphan with no home

The spirits came to save me

Taught me how to manage on my own

How many arms and legs has she?

Keep a close eye on my hands and feet

You might feel a little pinch or two

Is it just us in the darkened room?

This ain't no sideshow magic

There's nothing up my sleeve

Nobody can explain it

People want so badly to believe

Why don't we turn the tables

Raised up by spirit hands

Make an investigation

Find out what you think you'll understand

Study but nobody solves the mystery

Of this little girl from Napoli

Books and diplomas will do you no good

Class is getting started in the darkened room

Hear me moan and hear me wail

Swallow tongue and lizard tail

From my head a cold wind blows

Hear me wail and hear me moan

(Eat drink sleep be)

(Idle love and touch)

(The sweetest things)

(Of life but not succumb)

In this modern age of wonders

Things go bump in the night

Brand new atomic forces

Hold on tightly when we dim the lights

Let's gather for the séance

There's nothing to conceal

You can apply your science

Do you think that you can prove what's real?

Call me a faker call me a cheat

I crackle with electricity

Your wildest theories could be true

Come and find out in the darkened room

You all can keep your convent

That life don't suit me well

This is my finest moment

Here's another story you can tell
