Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (what's wrong with me?)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (why do I feel like this?)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (I'm going crazy now)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
No more gas, in the red (can't even get it started)
Nothing heard, nothing said (can't even speak about it)
All my life on my head (don't want to think about it)
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you (ah-ah)
It can creep up inside you and consume you (ah-ah)
A disease of the mind, it can control you (ah-ah)
It's too close for comfort, oh
Put on your brake lights
You're in the city of wonder
Ain't gon' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise
Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight? (Your mind is in)
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Faded pictures on the wall (it's like they talkin' to me)
Disconnected, no one calls (the phone don't even ring)
I gotta get out or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort, oh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you (ooh)
It can creep up inside you and consume you (ooh)
A disease of the mind, it can control you (ooh)
I feel like a monster, oh
Put on your brake lights
You're in the city of wonder (city lights)
Ain't gon' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice (think twice)
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise (be wise)
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight? (Oh)
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like (what you like)
Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (disturbia)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (oh-oh)
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain, but I'm struggling
If you can't go, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I think I'm gonna ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Put on your brake lights
You're in the city of wonder (woo, yeah)
Ain't gon' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice (better think twice)
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter, be wise (if you must falter, be wise)
Your mind is in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light (ah, yeah)
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight? (Ah, yeah)
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like (disturbia, ah)
Disturbia, disturbia
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (bum-ba-de-da-da)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (bum-ba-de-da-da)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (oh)
Bum bum be-dum, bum bum be-dum bum (oh)
