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 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
The 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 keep the tempo and they swing in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine?
I've been longing for daisies to push through the floor
And I wish 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 a teddy beneath
So just grin and bear it a while,
So just grin and bear it a while
I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest
The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine?
The book babbles on about nothing at all
A new leaf turns over, unwilling to fall
Tonight I'm busting out of this old haunted house
Cause I'm sick of waiting for all those spider webs 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 and they swing in time
Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus
If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine?
If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine?
