Turn Off the Light Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kim Petras]
Midnight under moonlight
Chills down your spine, fear in your eyes
Feelin' malicious, heard you like it vicious
All your dirty wishes, we were made to do it

[Pre-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Come on, are you curious enough to taste it?
To taste it

[Chorus: Kim Petras]
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light

[Verse 2: Kim Petras]
Hot stuff, know you like it rough
When I put it on ya, you'll never get enough
Feelin' the pressure, pain turns into pleasure
Ooh, I'm gonna get ya, ooh, I'm gonna get ya

[Pre-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Come on, are you curious enough to taste it?
To taste it
[Chorus: Kim Petras]
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light

[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah

[Interlude: Elvira, Mistress of the Dark]
Only in the darkness will you find your true self
Howl at the moon to awaken the spell
One cannot judge what the eye cannot see
Outside the realm of humanity
Embrace your fear, don't dare to run
Only then will you be what you're meant to become


[Chorus: Kim Petras]
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
If you're looking for a fright and you wanna do it right
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light (Turn off the light)
If you wanna take a bite, wanna see the dark side
Come on, turn off the light
Come on, turn off the light
[Post-Chorus: Kim Petras]
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah
Ooh, ah

Genius Annotation

The title track of the Halloween-themed mixtape, “Turn Off the Light” is all about spooking and conjuring your true self in the dark. Kim included a collaboration with the mother of all dark, Elvira.

In her track-by-track breakdown with OUT Magazine she speaks about her experience with Elvira and her influences.

The speech is Elvira, which is so crazy… very like inspired by Britney’s Blackout era and “Monster Mash” and yeah, it’s spooky music. I loved the transition on that one, the way it starts with the banging on the door, kind of pulling up to a Halloween party. That’s one of my faves.
