I saw a ghost on the stairs,
And sheets on the tables and chairs,
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink,
Even so I don't know what to think.
I've been longing for,
Daisies to push through the floor,
And I wish that plant life would grow all around me,
So I won't feel dead anymore.
So I won't feel dead anymore.
I saw a bear in the den,
Reading my textbooks again,
That bats flowed like traffic,
As they poured from the attic,
Heaven knows I could really use a friend.
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
The trees keeping tempo, as they sway in time,
A quartet of crickets chimes in for the chorus,
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
I've been longing for,
Daisies to push through the floor,
And I wish that plant life would grow all around me,
So I won't feel dead anymore.
So I won't feel dead anymore.
Your spirit is sweet,
So pull off your sheet,
And give me a ghost of a smile,
Show me your teeth,
'Cause you're teddy beneath,
So just grin and bear it awile.
Just grin and bear it awile.
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
The trees keep the tempo as they sway in time,
A quartet of crickets joins in for the chorus,
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
Today I'm bursting out,
Of this old haunted house,
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for,
All the spiderwebs to grow all around me,
'Cause I don't feel dead anymore.
And I'm not afraid anymore.
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest,
The trees keep the tempo as they sway in time,
A quartet of crickets joins in for the chorus,
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
