[Intro]
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
[Chorus 1]
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
[Verse 1]
I saw a bear in the den
Reading my textbooks again
Bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend
[Chorus 2]
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heartstrings would you strum on mine?
[Chorus 1]
[Verse 2]
Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet
And give me a ghost of a smile
Show me your teeth, because you're teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it a while
Just grin and bear it a while
[Chorus 2]
[Verse 3]
Tonight I'm busting out
Of this old haunted house
Because I'm sick of waiting for
All the spider webs to grow all around me
Because I don't feel dead anymore
And I'm not afraid anymore
[Chorus 2]
