There's a ghost living in my attic It screams from time to time Don't worry, it can't come downstairs It's scared to see the light I think it's always been there Since I was a young boy Haunting me at night Whispers in the daytime It won't move on It's got this eerie song that It mumbles to itself at night There is a ghost inside my house Its eyes they see all around It shrieks all night so loud How do I get out I've been playing every memory From all that it's said I've gotta exorcise the dead Your ectoplasm scriptures appearing Your fairy tale verse in the wind Your stories, your proverbs and prayers They don't strike a chord with me My father asks if I still see you I tell him I don't know who he means I tell myself I have to believe it But you'll be there when I get home It won't move on It's got this eerie song that It mumbles to itself at night There is a ghost inside my house Its eyes they see all around It shrieks all night so loud How do I get out I've been playing every memory From all that it's said I've gotta exorcise the dead I've gotta exorcise the dead You're dead and I know it, the graveyard is cold The fog is back down from the mountain I'll give you a funeral if it helps you pass over But you gotta get the f*ck out of my head There is a ghost inside my house (It sees my sin) Its eyes they see all around (Shouldn't have let it in) It shrieks all night so loud (Such a bloody grin) How do I get out (When it's in my skin) I've been playing every memory From all that it's said I've gotta exorcise the dead And there is a ghost inside my house (It sees my sin) Its eyes they see all around (Shouldn't have let it in) It shrieks all night so loud (Such a bloody grin) Oh how do I get out (When it's in my skin) I've been playing every memory Inside of my head I've gotta exorcise the dead I've gotta exorcise the dead I've gotta exorcise the dead
