lyrics

In that back room where we used to dare
You knew there was a ghost in there
Between the crates, inside the up-turned canoe
                                            
In that coffin that you dare me to
I had to touch it, I had to
Her hand shot out, nails throat, eyes glued
                                            
Ghost
                                            
You ran inside to tell your sister
The ghost pulled me, she tried to kiss her
Mouth, no teeth, my tongue pulled in
                                            
Your sister threatened all your toys
She said, “Don’t lie, you’re just a little boy!”
A knowing fear inside her eyes
                                            
She sat you down and held you tight
You prob’ly tried to run and fight
If you could you would have saved me, right?
                                            
You waited round for hours and hours
Scared, your sister’s expression sours
The clicking clock, no scream, she cowers
                                            
Ghost
                                            
Your parents home and dinner’s on
You hide behind, “now, where’s she gone?”
The ghost and I saw curtains drawn
                                            
Finally you crept back there
Felt sorry for your meanest dare
and left it set for the next player
                                            
Once there was a girl like me
She tried to cry out
She tried to climb out
She tried to claw her way out
                                            
Ghost
