Through the Mountain

[NELLIE, spoken]
I gotta go into the cave
He needs me, it's gettin' time

[SKEETS, spoken]
Miss Nellie, you're not allowed to be here
You know they closed this area off

[NELLIE, spoken]
But the wind!

[SKEETS, spoken]
You can't go on here, it's too dangerous
You couldn't possibly-

[NELLIE]
Why can all a' you go?
Like fire, like air
T' ain't fair that all a' you go

You men
Goin' under
Always scootin' 'round an' a-runnin' things
Always goin' 'round an' a-runnin' things
Tick tock tick tock
Tock tick tock!
I'm achin' to go! Please!
I'm achin' to set him free
What's wrong with me?
What's wrong with me?

(spoken)
I'ma come to you, Floyd
No matter what

(sung)
I'ma walk you through the mountain on a bareskin rug
Through the great halls you dream of, and tell of so often
I'ma keep you just as warm as a goodnight hug
As we follow 'long the diamonds to thе outside

You can take me on a tour of thе emerald towers
To the spires of sapphires, and waterfalls of crystal
We'll lay down to sleep with the gypsum flowers
As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside
Ooh

I'ma get you out of there
To a land of babies dancin' with a banjo in the air
And the sky is all lit up
With lemons and roses
Everything from your head to your toes is warm
Listen to me now
I'ma walk you through the mountain on a bareskin rug
Through the great halls you dream of, and tell of so often
I'ma take you by the hand and with a gentle tug
We'll be gone
We'll be long gone
As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside
As we follow 'long the diamonds to the outside
Ooh
Ooh
