lyrics

What did the boy do
when he made it to
the mouth of the cave?
What did the boy do?
Well, he got a little scared,
turned around and ran,
and stepped on a snake.

But this is how to overcome
a fear of bats.
This is how to overcome
a fear of bats.

You hang out
in the darkest spaces.
Hang out
with unfamiliar faces.
Hang out
in the most ungodly places.

This is how to overcome
a fear of bats.

You hang out...

Curiousity leads to experience.
And experience to more curiousity.

The sun comes up,
we go down and
hang out, hang out, hang out, hang out.

The sun comes up,
we go down and
hang out, hang out, hang out, wot!

The snake bit him
and the venom
was too much to take.
Sensing his end
he made his way back to
the mouth of the cave.
(But not on that time, but...)
But this time
he went inside,
sprouted wings,
and found a place to hang out...

Hang out!

The sun comes up,
we go down and
hang out, hang out, hang out, hang out.

The sun comes up,
we go down and
hang out, hang out, hang out, wot!

You hang out
in the darkest spaces.
Hang out
with unfamiliar faces.
Hang out
in the most ungodly places.

This is how to overcome
a fear of bats.

You hang out...

Curiousity, experience and
experience, curiousity...

You can overcome the fear.
Overcome the fear...

The bats gathered 'round,
each one sinking it's teeth
in his skin.
He wondered what was next,
as the blood drained
right out of him.

But this is how to overcome
a fear of bats.
This is how to overcome
a fear of bats.

You hang out
in the darkest spaces.
Hang out
in the most ungodly places.

Wot!

Curiousity, experience and
experience, curiousity...

One bat down.
One, two,
your bat, your bat.
One, two,
one, two, bat, bat.
One, two,
your bat, my bat.
Wot, wot,
your bat, no, my bat.
One, one, two,
One bat up,
one bat down.
Bat you,
you are bat.
Bat you,
you are bat.
One bat up.
Two bats up.
One bat down.
Bat, bat, bat, bat...

The sun comes up,
we go down and
hang out, hang out, hang out, hang out...
