It started slowly First a finger then a thumb Matilda started disappearing In front of everyone No one noticed how translucent she become As one by one It started softly First a fumble then a kiss In all his dreams he'd never seen Perfection like this No one noticed her hand tug at his As one by one The walkers left the park And one by one The electric lights went dark And one by one He buried her down in this hole I've got nothing to fear Somebody knows that I m hiding down here If I wriggle my toes They're gonna come find me If I wiggle my toes I'm gonna get free It started slowly Like a joining up of dots A dolly on a doorstep And an empty cardboard box The choir yawning as the final penny drops As one by one We called her name out loud And one by one We strained to hear a sound And one by one Our torch beam shown Down in this hole I've got nothing to fear Somebody knows that I m hiding down here If I wiggle my toes They gonna come find me Somebody knows that I m under these stones They gonna come find me
