lyrics

Living in our house,
on chicken legs
We spend our days drinking wine,
And breaking beds.

Living in our rooms,
too tired to move
You knock, you promise to fill me up
And I make you promise to take off your shoes

You bite your fingernails
And I file my toes:
I think we eat our prospects right down to the bone.

This house is haunted
since you moved in.
I know you’ve forgotten,
But the house and I remember:
Remember what it is,
What it is to feel you sin.

The lights went grey
The heat went out
The ceiling is a water spout
.
And the vacuum won’t pick up a scrap,
And I made my bed from treasure maps.

The fridge is warm,
The tub is cold,
The sponge is probably full of mold.
.
And so’s my notebook, worn and true:
Torn to shreds with songs for you.

The chickens have all come to roost,
Weighing down our tin can roof.
You sprung a leak,
so I bailed ship.
And our game trophy is a whip.

And so I went, with backwards shoes
While you refurbished church sale pews.
And I made salad from dry leaves,
And spider webs became our welcome wreath.

We talk a bit,
But never show our teeth.
There’s more bones here than feelings
Underneath.

And if there’s a Hell, I’ll see you there
After I get off falling down the stairs.

Ghost in you and ghost and i and ghost in you and
ghost in me and ghost in you and ghost in i and
Ghost in you and ghost in you and ghostin you
And ghosting you and ghost in you
And ghosting you

This house is haunted this house
Is haunted this house is
Haunted this house is haunted this
House is haunted is haunted
This house is haunted
THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED.
