They're so happy So very happy The children in my street With their smiles oh so sweet The happy children play outside my home They laugh and sing when I'm alone Their voices echo through the wall They shouldn't be here at all No children live here anymore Not since the fire in '94 But I can hear them every night Giggling with such delight Listen closely to their song Something's clearly very wrong Their voices never seem to fade This is the game they play Happy children, playing games Always smiling, all the same Happy children, never sleep Watching you when you're asleep Happy children, holding hands Following their dark commands Happy children, come and see They're waiting now for you and me The happy children have such perfect teeth Too many rows that lie beneath Their skin so pale and oh so cold They look like they'll never grow old They tap on windows late at night Their eyes reflect without light They know your name, they know your fears They've been waiting here for years Listen closely to their song Something's clearly very wrong Their voices never seem to fade This is the game they play Happy children, playing games Always smiling, all the same Happy children, never sleep Watching you when you're asleep Happy children, holding hands Following their dark commands Happy children, come and see They're waiting now for you and me They're in the shadows of your room They're in the closet waiting too They know the monsters aren't real But they are, and they can feel Your fear is what makes them grow They've been hungry for so long The happy children want a friend To join their circle never end Happy children, playing games Always smiling, all the same Happy children, never sleep Watching you when you're asleep Happy children, holding hands Following their dark commands Happy children, come and see They're waiting now for you and me We are the happy children Won't you come and play? We are the happy children We're with you every day We are the happy children We're never going away…
