Way Too Clean
03:50

|||
I went to sleep; I had a crazy dream;
I looked around; ev'rything was clean.
I don't understand how that could be,
cuz I'm as messy as a person can be
Why am I suff'ring such a gruesome fate?
I don't know how much more of this I can take
Some scary monster did this thing to me;
wake me up so I can get free
I wonder what's gonna happen to me?
How did such a situation come to be?
I wonder what's gonna happen to me?
Scary monster, scary dream
I'm shaking in my boots
Ev'rything is way too clean
Scary monster, scary dream
Everything is way too clean...wooo
At last it's morning; I can open my eyes,
but with the sunlight comes a nasty surprise
The midnight cleanliness was more than a dream;
I'm a victim of a vile scheme
I wonder what's gonna happen to me?
How did such a situation come to be?
I wonder what's gonna happen to me?
Scary monster, scary dream
I'm shaking in my boots
Ev'rything is way too clean
Scary monster, scary dream
Everything is way too clean...oh yeah
[spoken]
On the abnormally mostly spotless floor,
I spy the tell-tale marks left by my demon guest
The one who left my house in the condition I abhor,
And I know my house has been repossessed!
[sng]
By a scary monster, yeah, yeah
I wonder what's gonna happen to me?
How did such a situation come to be?
I wonder what's gonna happen to me?
Scary monster, scary dream
I'm shaking in my boots
Ev'rything is way too clean
Scary monster, scary dream
Everything is way too clean...oh yeah
Scary monster, scary dream;
I'm shaking in my boots
Ev'rything is way too clean
Scary monster, scary dream;
I'm shaking in my boots
Ev'rything is way too clean
Scary monster, scary dream;
I'm shaking in my boots
Ev'rything is way too clean
Scary monster, scary dream;
Everything is way too clean…. wooo!

How Did They Get Here?
02:32
|
|||
The big moon shines from a blackened sky
On a parade of my ancestors passing by
There's great granny Jane and her husband John
He died before my daddy was born
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt
The shrieking of ghosts fills the night with fear
The cackling witches on broomsticks appear
Then, riding the wind, the banshees arrive
And the specter of death with his menacing scythe
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt
It's Halloween, ghouls and goblins and ghosts abound
It's Halloween, skeletons are rising out of the ground
Where did they come from; why are they here
Are they looking for someone to fear them
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt
Where did they come from; why are they here
Are they looking for someone to fear them
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt
Where did they come from; why are they here
Are they looking for someone to fear them
How did they get here; what do they want
Are they looking for someone to haunt

Something's Coming
02:04
|

(Whispered: I'm scared. It's so dark
Sung:
Something's coming. I can hear it.
Running, running. I'm so scared.
I don't see it. Where's the light?
Something's coming, in the night.
Can you hear it, can you hear it?
Howling, screaming, striking fear?
Something's coming, something's coming
After me.
Something's coming. I can feel it.
Shivers running up my spine.
I don't see it, but I feel it.
Something's coming in the night.
Can you hear it, can you feel it?
Howling, screaming, striking fear.
Something's coming, something's coming
After me.
Can you hear it, can you feel it?
Howling, screaming, striking fear.
Something's coming, something's coming
After me.
(Whispered: It's so dark.)

Mama, don't let them bury me
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery.
It's dark in here; I can hardly move
And I hear digging outside
Someone is whistling a mournful tune
I wish I was still alive
Mama, don't let them bury me
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery.
My prison is moving; I feel a bump
They're putting me down in the ground
Above my head I hear a thump
I try to cry out loud
Mama, don't let them bury me
Please pick me up and carry me
Far from the cemetery.
Far from the cemetery.

Bare Bones
02:44
|

His bones conceal a tale no bard could ever tell
Of how he laughed and loved; of how he fought and fell.
He died a hero; he was the last king of his kind,
But the truth gets buried if the storyteller’s blind.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.
He fought for honor and he cut their banner down.
They heard his dying breath in every English town.
And so they butchered him while traitors stood aside.
Yet good men straight and true stayed with him as they died.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.
The shattered corpse of England's King displayed for all to see.
His bones will keep their secrets ’til the truth can set him free.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pay and display.
Bare bones! Bare bones! We pray and decay.
