When sadness isn’t dangerous
And angst doesn’t mean you’re suffering
When banners are only made of cloth
You’ll sing a lonely death row song
When the gambler hides the ace of spades
The drunk man hides his rye away
The working stiff turns the other cheek
He knows the boss man’s got him beat
Maybe somewhere you walked away
Left some other soul to pay
We all have skeletons and ghosts
Who haunt us when we need them most
So let your demons out
Let them out for a while
Let your demons out
Let them all run wild
Time ain’t on your side my friend
Your trains half way around the bend
So let your demons out
Come on and let your demons out
When the wise man hides inside his tale
The poor man hides in a pint of ale
The wife she hides inside a bottle of pills
The husband hides in shame and guilt
So raise the flag strike up the band
Beware his clever sleight of hand
When you’re tired of the violent past
Pick up a stone and break the glass
And Let your demons out
Let them out for a while
Let your demons out
Let them all run wild
Time ain’t on your side my friend
Your trains half way around the bend
So let your demons out
Come on and let your demons out
When I was a child I locked them away
Singing tra la la la la la la nevermore
Now that I’m older the won’t stay away
Singing tra la la la la la la la nevermore
Tra la la la nevermore
When sadness isn’t dangerous
And angst doesn’t mean you’re suffering
When banners are only made of cloth
You’ll sing a lonely death row song
It’s time to
Let your demons out
Let them out for a while
Let your demons out
Let them all run wild
Time ain’t on your side my friend
Your trains half way around the bend
So let your demons out
Come on and let your demons out
Closing time is drawing near
So raise your glass embrace the fear
And let your demons out
Come on and let your demons out
