[INTRO – A CAPPELLA CHILDREN'S CHOIR, VERY SOFT AND EERIE] Nana, nana, na-na-naaa... Nana, nana, na-na-naaa... Close your eyes and count to three... There's a little ghost beneath... Nana, nana, don't you cry... Nana, nana, lullaby... [ONE CHILD SINGS ALONE] Are you sleeping? [PAUSE] So am I... [VERSE 1 – SOFT CHILDREN'S CHOIR, SIMPLE NURSERY RHYME] Little feet go tiptoe, tiptoe, Little shadows grow and grow. Moonlight peeking through the wall, Someone's standing in the hall. Pull the blanket to your chin, Keep the darkness from coming in. If you hear a tiny sound, Don't you dare look all around. [CHILDREN'S CHOIR – GENTLE, REPETITIVE] Nana, nana, na-na-naaa... Someone's standing where you are. Nana, nana, close your eyes... Something waits beneath the night. [CHORUS – LAYERED CHILDREN'S CHOIR, DEEP HARMONIES] NANA NANA, DON'T YOU PEEP, NANA NANA, GO TO SLEEP. ONE, TWO, THREE — THE DARKNESS CREEPS, FOUR, FIVE, SIX — IT NEVER SLEEPS. NANA NANA, HOLD ON TIGHT, NANA NANA, NO MORE LIGHT. SEVEN, EIGHT, THE SHADOWS PLAY, NINE, TEN — THEY'RE HERE TO STAY. [VERSE 2 – DARK CELLO DRONE, SOFT PIANO] Teddy's sitting by the door, Though you left him on the floor. Little fingers tap the glass, Little footsteps slowly pass. Mother says it's just a dream, Nothing's ever what it seems. But the voice beside your bed Knows the words your mother said. [CHILDREN'S CHOIR – QUIETER, SLIGHTLY OUT OF SYNC] Nana, nana, na-na-naaa... Don't look underneath the chair. Nana, nana, don't you stare... Something's breathing over there. [CHORUS – BIGGER CHILDREN'S CHOIR, EERIE LOW HARMONIES] NANA NANA, DON'T YOU PEEP, NANA NANA, GO TO SLEEP. ONE, TWO, THREE — THE DARKNESS CREEPS, FOUR, FIVE, SIX — IT NEVER SLEEPS. NANA NANA, HOLD ON TIGHT, NANA NANA, NO MORE LIGHT. SEVEN, EIGHT, THE SHADOWS PLAY, NINE, TEN — THEY'RE HERE TO STAY. [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK – SOLO CELLO, DISTANT CHILDREN HUMMING NANA NANA] [BRIDGE – ONE CHILD SINGS ALONE, VERY SOFTLY] I saw a face behind the door, I saw the same face there before. I shut my eyes and counted ten... [CHILDREN'S CHOIR, WHISPERING] But when I looked... [PAUSE] ...it smiled again. [DEEP CELLO NOTE, THEN SILENCE] [ONE CHILD SINGS] Nana, nana, who's that there? [CHILDREN'S CHOIR, VERY SOFT] Nana, nana... [PAUSE] ...don't you care. [FINAL CHORUS – FULL CHILDREN'S CHOIR, HAUNTING AND HYPNOTIC] NANA NANA, DON'T YOU PEEP, NANA NANA, GO TO SLEEP. ONE, TWO, THREE — THE DARKNESS CREEPS, FOUR, FIVE, SIX — IT NEVER SLEEPS. NANA NANA, HOLD ON TIGHT, NANA NANA, NO MORE LIGHT. SEVEN, EIGHT, THE SHADOWS PLAY... [ALL VOICES SLOW DOWN] NINE... TEN... [WHISPERED CHILDREN'S CHOIR] ...now look away. [OUTRO – A CAPPELLA CHILDREN'S CHOIR, SLOW AND DISTANT] Nana, nana, na-na-naaa... Nana, nana, na-na-naaa... Close your eyes and count to three... [ONE CHILD WHISPERS] There's a little ghost... [PAUSE] ...inside of me. [ONE LOW CELLO NOTE] [END]
