The day is almost over and the sunlight is going
And the people walk through shadows completely unknowing
That there's something lethal in the air that they can't see.


Now a Time Lord could save me just by turning on a light
Although I don't think that the Doctor's gonna show up tonight

So I'm trying to remember what the Library said to me.

Gotta focus on all the silhouettes that you can see

'Cause if the number keeps on changing then you're no use to me.

So count the shadows,

Count the shadows,
Cause they're edging toward you
Like a hungry moth to a flame

Count the shadows,
(Count the shadows)
Count the shadows,

Cause if you've got more than one
Then you're the victim that they will claim.


In the Library the darkness is waiting to attack,
Some explorers went inside but they ain't never comin' back,
Namely Miss Evangelista, Anita, and two guys called Dave.

And the shadows made four thousand other people disappear
And they've been hungry and waiting for a whole damn year
For some fresh meat that isn't gonna register as saved.


Gotta focus on all the silhouettes that you can see
'Cause if the number keeps on changing then you're no use to me.


So count the shadows,
Count the shadows,

Cause they're edging toward you
Like a hungry moth to a flame
Count the shadows,

(Count the shadows)
Count the shadows,
Cause if you've got more than one

Then you're the victim that they will claim.

Invisible carnivorous aggressive armada
And they go by the name of the Vashta Nerada,

A thousand thousand million piranhas in the air.
And the tingle on your skin that you feel in the dark
May be the hungry ones who contemplate leaving a mark

So when you're reaching for your light switch make sure you're prepared.

Gotta focus on all the silhouettes that you can see

'Cause if the number keeps on changing then you're no use to me.

So count the shadows,

(Count the shadows)
Count the shadows,
Cause they're edging toward you

Like a hungry moth to a flame
Count the shadows,
(Count the shadows)

Count the shadows,
(Count the shadows)
Cause if you've got more than one

Then you're the victim that they will claim.



So count the shadows,
(Count the shadows)
Count the shadows,

(Count the shadows)
Cause they're edging toward you
Like a hungry moth to a flame

Count the shadows,
Count the shadows,
(Count the shadows)

Cause if you've got more than one
Then you're the victim that they will claim.
