Take my hand and follow me.

Into the night we’ll go,

Shh, now, don’t wake them.

Let your bare feet hit the pavement,

As we walk up the street,

Don’t worry about the cars, dear, the road’s deserted.

It’s a warm night tonight.

Do you feel the breeze?

Be careful now, or you’ll float away.

The darkness is peaceful, right?

Yes, it’s a bit eerie, but it’s okay.

You’ll learn to like it.

Oh my! There’s your neighbor.

No, don’t hide, sweetie.

He can’t see us.

It’s okay, don’t be afraid.

The night isn’t that scary, after all.

No, we can’t go inside.

Come, calm down.

Follow me into the yard now,

Lay down here.

Here, I’ll wrap you in a blanket of moonlight.

Listen to the crickets, they’re singing you a lullaby.

Shh, sleep now.

What’s that?

Oh, yes, yes my dear child.

Yes, we’re dead.
