lyrics

THIS HOUSE IS HAUNTED

There's something in the basement
I'm just uneasy down there
There's something on the landing
I'm afraid to climb the stairs
There's something in the study
In there I can't even think
There's something in the parlour
And it gets darker with each drink

There's something in the game room
That makes me fly into a rage
There's something in the library
Between the lines on every page
There's something in the guest room
Judging the friends that I keep
There's something in our bedroom
Making it hard for me to sleep
This house is haunted
I know how crazy it sounds but I swear it's haunted

There's something in the mirror
Where she used to fix her hair
There's something in the sitting room
That occupies that empty chair
There's something in the wardrobe
Even though her clothes are gone
There's something in the daylight
That makes it hard to carry on
This house is haunted by the ghost of my past life
I know how crazy it sounds but I swear it's haunted
This house is haunted by the ghost of my past life
I know how crazy it sounds but I swear she's everywhere

In these shadows something hides
That I try not to think about
I don't know why I stay inside
When what I really need is just to
Find my own way out

Anyone can see how it's consuming me

There's something in the china
That gathers dust in the hutch
There's something in the piano
So I no longer play it much
There's something in the silence
Where her laughter used to be
There's something in between us
And it's not you and it's not me
This house is haunted by the ghost of my past life
I know how crazy it sounds but I swear it's haunted
This house is haunted by the ghost of my past life
I know how crazy it sounds but I swear she's everywhere
