Ghosts

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There's a ghost down in the hall

There's a ghoul upon the bed

There's something in the walls

There's blood upon the stairs

And it's floating through the room

And there's nothing I can see

I know this place is doomed

Because now it's haunting me

I don't understand it

Don't understand it

There's a thumping in the floor

There's a creep behind the door

There's a rocking in the chair

But there's no one sitting there

There's a ghostly smell around

But nobody to be found

And a coffin nearly open

Where a restless soul is floating

Don't understand it

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

Don't understand it

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

And who gave you the right to scare my family

And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree

They put a knife in my back

Shot an arrow in me

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

The ghost of jealousy

There's a thumping in the floor

There's a creep behind the door

There's a rocking in the chair

But nobody's sitting there

There's a ghostly smell around

But nobody to be found

And a coffin nearly open

Where a restless soul is floating

Don't understand it

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

Don't understand it

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

You just don't know

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

(Got a ghost, got a break in the walls)

(Got a ghoul, got a break in the halls)

(Got to see it, want to)

And who gave you the right to scare my family

And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree

And who gave you the right to take intrusion to see me

And who gave you the right to shake my family

And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree

You put a knife in my back

Shot an arrow in me

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

A suckin ghost of jealousy

And who gave you the right to scare my family

And who gave you the right to scare my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree

And who gave you the right to take intrusion to see me

And who gave you the right to shake my family

And who gave you the right to hurt my baby, she needs me

And who gave you the right to shake my family tree

You put a knife in my back

Shot an arrow in me

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

The ghost of jealousy

Come on

But it's dynamite

A peice of mine

Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
