Dearly Departed (feat. Esmé Patterson)

Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Oooooh
Well
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed-sheets and a-rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn’t seem so strange
You used to bite, I used to moan
But now I’m mumbling and you choke
Well I ain’t so scary on my own
Tell me honey, what’s a dagger without a cloak?
‘Cause
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed-sheets and a-rattling your chains
Well back then baby, it didn’t seem so strange
In the midnight hours, you came alive
I had to go get my crystal ball
Gotta find that snake
When the sun came up we got no place to hide
And you had to tell your friends that my things where fake
I just had to.
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed-sheets there’s a-rattling in your chains
Well back then baby, it didn’t seem so strange
But even when one is
Dead and gone
It still take two to make a house home
I’m as lonesome as the catacombs
I hear you call me name but no one’s there
Except a feelin' in the air
(oooooooohh)
You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah you and I both know that the ghost is you
You used to walk around screaming, all slamming all ‘dem doors.
Well I’m all grown up now and I don’t scare easy no more
Yeah, You and I both know
Oooohh
You and I both know
Oooohh
Yeah you and I both know
Oooohh
Oooohh
