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,

 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,

 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

 Might be the hungry ones who contemplate leaving a mark

 So when you're reaching for the 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,

 Cause they're edging toward you

 Like a hungry moth to a flame

 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,

 Cause they're edging toward you

 Like a hungry moth to a flame

 Count the shadows,

 Then you're the victim that they will claim.
