Lyrics
[Intro]
Off.
Turn it off.
Yeah.
The moon is bleeding through the glass.
Are you ready?
[Verse 1]
Neon bones dancing on the floor.
Shadows creeping right under the door.
Wrap me tight in a cobweb sheet.
Listen close to the clockwork beat.
Ticks so slow.
Ticks so slow.
The candy's gone and the fire burns low.
[Verse 2]
Spooky eyes watching from the wall.
Pumpkin grins lining up the hall.
Hold my hand while the ghouls all play.
We don't need another sunny day.
Lock the latch.
Strike the match.
Down inside the dead briar patch.
[Chorus]
Oh, don't wake me up tomorrow!
Let the night time swallow!
Gold and black!
No turning back!
We are sleeping with the phantoms in the deep dark hollow!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Don't wake me up!
[Verse 3]
Silver fangs pressing on the skin.
Let the cold velvet dream begin.
The bats are looping in a frantic flight.
We belong to the endless night.
Close your eyes.
No goodbyes.
Just the sound of the wind as it cries.
[Verse 4]
Witch's brew bubbling in the dark.
Leaving behind every heavy mark.
Skeleton keys turning in the lock.
No more ticking from the parlor clock.
Let it stop.
Let it drop.
Down from the very highest top.
[Chorus]
Oh, don't wake me up tomorrow!
Let the night time swallow!
Gold and black!
No turning back!
We are sleeping with the phantoms in the deep dark hollow!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Don't wake me up!
[Outro]
Shh.
Quiet now.
The spiders are spinning.
The night is just beginning.
Don't wake me up.
Don't wake me up.
Stay down.
