I saw a ghost on the stairs
And sheets on the tables and chairs
The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink
But 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
And bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic
Heaven knows, I could really use a friend

‘Cause 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?

(Da da da interlude)

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 awhile

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?

(Da da da interlude)

Tonight I'm busting out
Of this old haunted house
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for
All those 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 and I sway in time
Quartet of crickets chime 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?
