Une créature, pas un monstre, rêve de la nuit. Écoutez le chant des ailes dans le froid Un chéri, pas un méchant, est passé dans la nuit Écoutez le battement de ses ailes le soir La fille de Dracula Le fils de Frankenstein Venez-vous chez moi le soir de Noël? C'est mieux que le père noël Une bête, pas un diable, vole dans la nuit. Écoutez le grattement des ailes sur l'écran La fille de Dracula Le fils de Frankenstein Venez-vous chez moi le soir de Noël? C'est mieux que le père noël Emmenez-moi avec vous Emmenez-moi avec vous La fille de Dracula Le fils de Frankenstein Venez-vous chez moi le soir de Noël? C'est mieux que le père noël Emmenez-moi avec vous Emmenez-moi avec vous Chères chauves-souris à Noël Chères chauves-souris à Noël

There's a broken wing and a laughing wind and a werewolf wearing comfortable claws Someone has broken all these candle sticks Will you answer me by Ouija board? There's a silent voice And a ringing bell and a banshee washing designer shrouds Something has broken all these incense sticks Will you answer me by Ouija board? Chorus: Well I never and you didn't Well I never and they should've Well I never and we might have Does this Ouija board have unlimited text and talk? There's burning breeze And a talking board and a revenant chanting 1000 psalms Sometimes you just have to cry along Will you answer me by Ouija board? Chorus: A planchette with spell check and we'll never have to say it twice A planchette with auto-correct and they'll have to read it thrice this planchette brings me regret this planchette won’t let me forget anything at all Chorus Twice (or more) text and talk?

Esta noite, talvez um fantasma. Esta noite, talvez nunca mais. O que tu queres do que tu queres? O que tu precisas quando tu sonhas? Esta noite, talvez um espectro. Esta noite talvez para sempre O que tu queres do que tu queres? O que tu precisas quando tu sonhas? Por favor Por favor Por favor Esta noite, talvez um santo sagrado. Esta noite talvez talvez O que tu queres do que tu queres? O que tu precisas quando tu sonhas?

I walked around the sitting room Just to have a waste of my afternoon And I’ve no interest in hoovering That’s so much worse So I think I’ll read some poetry and drive your car I’ll try out my new Ouija board or my tarot cards It’s best to have some distance to clear my heart I think I’d like some time alone and to go… without my telephone Chorus: Take me with you somewhere flying… Where the stars glow! Some colorful wings with the moon shining… Through blue indigo! Take me with you someplace flying; far away from my living room. To take a trip with Mothra might be better than Christmas. We could send each other telepathic messages; We could go on vacation to volcanoes and far off islands So you see, I’ll say, goodbye! Chorus: Take me with you somewhere flying… Where the stars glow! Some colorful wings with the moon shining… Through blue indigo! Take me with you someplace flying; far away from my living room.

La luz, la luz, la luz de la luna ha salido para sombrear la cuna las nubes, las nubes, las nubes del cielo han cubierto todas las estrellas la luz, la luz, la luz de la luna ha aclarado todos los rincones Duérmete y escucha los aullidos lupinos que te dan serenata Duérmete y mira las caras fantasmales que te miran fijamente Duérmete y oye las risas espectrales que te hablan fríamente (Music break: Cymbal, no cymbal, cymbal) Duérmete y eschucha ,los sonidos encantados que te cantan un soneto Duérmete y mira los ojos deslumbrados que te guardan fijamente Duérmete y oye las voces extrañas que te cantan fríamente La luz, la luz, la luz de la luna ha salido para sombrear la cuna las nubes, las nubes, las nubes del cielo han cubierto todas las estrellas la luz, la luz, la luz de la luna ha aclarado todos los rincones

Like father, like son of Frankenstein Like daughter of Dracula flies The eyes peer through the window The wind blows an evil wind Las flores silvestres Me dicen adiós Like the dreaming in long shadows Like stormy sea monsters cry The eyes peer through the window The wind blows an evil wind Les fleurs sauvages Me disent au revoir The first one is the last to see them The last one is the first to go Like father, like son of Frankenstein Like daughter of Dracula flies All the electrical secrets of heaven Now everyone shall know Now everyone shall know Now everyone shall know
