[Verse 1]

Clean off the cobwebs, it's your time to shine

The operator says you've got to keep them in line

The problem is that you're alone, no one to keep them away

You check the camera, eyes dart at the time

The room is getting colder, sending chills up your spine

There's something hiding in the dark, and it wants you as its prey

[Chorus]

You're running out of power

Because you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

Nearing the final hour

Oh no, you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

[Verse 2]

Your palms are sweaty, your fingers are numb

The beating of your heart is just as loud as a drum

You hear their footsteps down the hall, along with nursery rhymes

One's in the closet, the other's outside

They're inching ever-closer and they know where you hide

The fox is coming out to play, you shut the door just in time

[Chorus]

You can't control the shadows

Oh no, you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

You're swinging from the gallows

Because you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

[Bridge]

You hear their wheezes and moans

Gargled noises come from the phone

Why won't they just leave you alone?

Unless they think your cover's been blown

So you'd better play dead

So you'd better play dead

[Verse 3]

Your arms are tired, your vision is crossed

You haven't kept control of all the power you've lost

The clock is slowly ticking down, you're almost out of the game

You lost your focus, the leader is gone

Maybe if you're careful, you can hold out 'til dawn

If only you could tweak the odds and not be subject to blame

[Chorus]

You're running out of power

Because you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

Nearing the final hour

Oh no, you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

You can't control the shadows

Oh no, you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

You're swinging from the gallows

Because you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

[Outro]

You're running out of power

Because you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

Nearing the final hour

Oh no, you can't stand up to these animal-tronics

You can't control the shadows

Oh no, you can't stand up to these animal-tronics
