[Verse 1]
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Curl up tight in the red-flame glow
Hear the walls with their paper teeth
Watch the long shadows crawl and grow
The Phantasmagorical Encyclopedia
Lifts its lid with a creaking sigh
Every page got a hungry grin
Every word got a black eye
[Pre-Chorus]
And the ceiling starts to shake
When the tiny bells go wild
Hold your breath, little Fart Nugge
Stay a while
[Chorus]
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Sleep through the sirens
Dream of hard truth and airplanes
Dream of blade-bright horizons
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Let the night take hold
(Phantasmagorical)
(Phantasmagorical)
[Verse 2]
Airport glass and a twisted moon
Hands in the pocket, heart on fire
Boots on tile with a steady snap
Like a match head learning desire
The Phantasmagorical Encyclopedia
Points to the chapter marked "Run"
Says every name in the book will sing
When the final page comes undone
[Pre-Chorus]
And the ceiling starts to shake
When the tiny bells go wild
Hold your breath, little Fart Nugge
Stay a while
[Chorus]
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Sleep through the sirens
Dream of hard truth and airplanes
Dream of blade-bright horizons
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Let the night take hold
(Phantasmagorical)
(Phantasmagorical)
[Bridge]
If the dark comes knocking
Tell it, “Come on in”
If the book starts laughing
Let the chorus begin
One last page
One last spark
Tiny feet
In the dark
[Final Chorus]
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Sleep through the sirens
Dream of hard truth and airplanes
Dream of blade-bright horizons
Close your eyes, little Fart Nugge
Let the night take hold
(Phantasmagorical)
(Phantasmagorical)
