Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got my helmet on my head
Figure out what that zombie said ”What?”
Lava all over the room
Got a half-heart left, man, I am doomed
Don't have any iron bars
My pick just broke into some shards
Scary noise, what should I do?
Go left or right? I'll have to choose
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Visions of last time flash inside my mind
I'm scared, oh well
And I'm pretty sure there's a big creeper right there
[Chorus]
Don't mine at night
I know you're lookin' at that cave
And you're feelin' kinda' brave
Go to bed you'll be alright
Don't mine at night
There's nothing that is gonna change
If you just wait until the day
Zombies wanna eat your brains
Don't mine at night
I know it's me you're gonna thank
Make a bed it's not too late
Three wool and three wooden planks
Don't mine at night
How many times I have to say
Drop the pick and walk away-a, woah
Don't mine at night “Don't mine at night”
Don’t mine at night “Don’t mine at night”
[Verse 2]
Stomach's all tied up in knots
This labyrinth, I'm gettin' lost
This is really getting old
Found like two pieces of coal
Down one way there's just stone
Monsters won't leave me alone
Down another there's some lava
And of course I, get pwned!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Remember last time I tried to mine at night
I failed, so bad
I lost all my stuff, It was really tough
That's it “rage quit!”
[Repeat Chorus]
[Interlude]
D-O-N-T M-I-N-E
D-O-N-T M-I-N-E
D-O-N-T M-I-N-E
D-O-N-T M-I-N-E
[Repeat Chorus]
