The Museum’s Awake

歌詞

[Verse 1] The last visitor leaves; the doors click shut A hush settles over the halls Then a ribcage shifts in the moonlit hall And a T. rex takes a step A triceratops turns its head A pterosaur lifts from its perch The labels glow as the night begins And the old bones stir in the dark [Chorus] Come alive, come alive The museum’s awake tonight Dinosaur bones take a wandering stride Taxidermy figures step from their side Among the modern and prehistoric They wander the halls, a curious crowd Come alive, come alive Till the morning brings them back to their rows [Verse 2] A woolly mammoth pads past the glass A bison noses through the hall A fox slips by the fossil wall A deer steps out from the display The taxidermy figures walk in a line Past the skeletons, slow and strange A small bird flutters from a branch As the great bones shuffle and change [Chorus] Come alive, come alive The museum’s awake tonight Dinosaur bones take a wandering stride Taxidermy figures step from their side Among the modern and prehistoric They wander the halls, a curious crowd Come alive, come alive Till the morning brings them back to their rows [Bridge] A T. rex pauses by the door A mammoth waits beside the wall A little bird lands on a claw And the whole hall holds its breath Then the first pale light spills through the glass The bones fall still, the figures freeze The doors swing wide; the day begins And no one sees the night’s parade [Final Chorus] Come alive, come alive The museum’s awake tonight Dinosaur bones take a wandering stride Taxidermy figures step from their side Among the modern and prehistoric They wander the halls, a curious crowd Come alive, come alive Till the morning brings them back to their rows [Outro] The last light fades; the doors swing wide The bones stand still, the figures freeze But deep inside the quiet halls A little bird still flutters free
