Dearly Departed (feat. Esmé Patterson) Lyrics

Ooooh
Well,
You and I both know that the house is haunted.
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is of me.
Used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattlin' your chains.
Well back then, baby, it didn't seem so strange.
I used to bite. I used to moan.
But now there's nothin' left in show.
Well I ain't so scary on my own.
Tell me, honey, what's a dagger without a cloak.
Well I don't know.
In the midnight hour, you came alive.
I was lookin' for my crystal ball.
I was busy tryin' to charm that snake.
Hsss-hsss.

When the sun came up, we had no place to hide.
And you had to tell your friends that my fangs were fake.
I just had to.
Oh.
Well, even when one is dead and gone,
It still takes two to make a house a home.
Well, I'm as lonesome as the catacombs.
I hear you call my name, but no one's there,
Except a feelin' in the air.
'Cause,
You and I both know that the house is haunted.
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is of you.
Used to walk around screamin', or slammin' all them doors.
Well, I'm all grown up now. I don't scare easy no more,
But you and I both know.
Ooooh
Yeah, you and I both know.
Ooooh
Yeah, you and I both know.
Ooooh
