[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Say your prayers, little one, don't forget, my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin
'Til the Sandman, he comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
[Verse 2]
Something's wrong, shut the light, heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of war, dreams of liars, dreams of dragons' fire
And of things that will bite, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Now, I lay me down to sleep
(Now, I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Lord my soul to keep
(Pray the Lord my soul to keep)
If I die before I wake
(If I die before I wake)
Pray the Lord my soul to take
(Pray the Lord my soul to take)
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bed
In your closet, in your head
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
(Yeah, haha haha)
[Outro]
Oh, yeah-yeah, yo-oh
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
We're off to never-never land
[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
Say your prayers, little one, don’t forget, my son
To beware of the night
I’ll keep you near, in this land of fear, ‘til the shadows take flight
'Til Vlad the Impaler comes
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
[Verse 2]
Something’s wrong, shadowed halls, ancient voices call
And they’re not from the past
Dreams of blood, dreams of spires, dreams of Dracula’s fires
And of things that will last, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
Yeah
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Now, I lay me down to sleep
(Now, I lay me down to sleep)
Pray the Vlad’s dark deeds don’t creep
(Pray the Vlad’s dark deeds don’t creep)
If I wander through the gloom
(If I wander through the gloom)
Pray the shadows leave no doom
(Pray the shadows leave no doom)
Hush little baby, don’t make a sound
And never mind the cries around
It’s just the legend’s eerie reign
In the castle, through the pain
[Chorus]
Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand
Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
(Yeah, haha haha)
[Outro]
Oh, yeah-yeah, yo-oh
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
Take my hand
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
Take my hand
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
We’re off to Vlad’s dark land
