(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)
Out my life, out my head (don't wanna think about it)
Feels like I'm going insane Yeah-Eh-Eh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you (uh-huh)
It can creep up inside you and consume you (uh-huh)
A disease of the mind it can control you (uh-huh)
It's too close for comfort (oh)
Put on your green lights
We'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 is in disturbia
(bum-bum-be-dum, bum-bum, be-dum-bum)
It's like the darkness is the light
(bum-bum-be-dum, bum-bum, be-dum-bum)
Disturbia, am I scaring you tonight?
Disturbia, ain't used to what you like
(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 talking to me)
Disconnecting your call (your phone don't even ring)
I gotta get out, or figure this shit out
It's too close for comfort, Oh-Oh-Oh-Ho-Oh-Oh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you (uh-uh)
