Literature Text

OG: Not so long ago in a land not so far away, there was a little dream.

GB: Such a small dream it was, t'weren't no-one knew who dreamed it.

YG: The little dream began to think, "I don't want to disappear like this. How can I make people see me?"

Coraline: The dream thought and thought, and had an idea.

Beldam: I'll make people wander into me, and make their own world...

OG:
First to find the little door, a child of golden curls
Wand'ring from her empty life to find a better world
Freedom and adventure lay abundant for her there
Buttons in her eyes was but a temporary care
Wasn't too long afterward, the girl made up her mind
Went to live in the Other World without a final glance behind
Such a land of fantasy ensnared her youthful heart
Just one hook was all it took to tear the girl apart

GB:
Next to seek a refuge from an overbearing life
Dirty-faced and easy paced, a boy of gentle eyes
Twas espec'lly simple to deceive this honest soul
Love as of a mother, and his heart was surely sold
Nary a misgiving 'bout intentions of the dame
Took a stand in fairyland, covered o'er with hugs and games
When at last a doubt began to surface in his thoughts,
Twas too late to flee the fate, he was forever lost

YG:
After a few years, a couple children found the door
One was less adventurous, and one a little more
When the latter crawled into the Other Mother's lair
Then the former turned from her, pretending not to care
As the days went on, the first began to get upset
Begged her sister not to go back into the spider's nest
This time, was the second who would turn and walk away
Never to return again, the girl fell to decay

OG: Haunted by her sister's loss, the first left the house

YG: Divvied up the rooms and let them be rented out

GB: One day a little girl moved in from Michigan
GB: That
OG: small
YG: dream
OG,GB,YG: found its hope again

Coraline:
Trapped by mud and mugginess, the girl was very bored
But the perfect Other World was yet to be explored
Even though she loved it there, she felt something was wrong
Back at home she realized her real parents were gone

OG: The girl proposed a hide and seek
GB: The winner would all spoils keep
YG: In victory, she hid the key
All: Where the witch could never reach

If you stumble on a land that's too good to be true,
Watch out for the Beldam, cause she's going after you
Aka Alice Human Sacrifice, but that didn't fit as nicely. This is another one of the best songs in the world! xD
This time with a Coraline twist.

And, uh. OG = older ghost girl, GB = ghost boy, YG = younger ghost girl (the one Coraline refers to as "the little ghost girl". Wybie's grandmother's twin sister. yes).

I'm just sad I lost my American McGee's Alice version somewhere in my files. D: Dangit. *searches*
