Plant Life

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw a ghost on the stairs And sheets on the tables and chairs The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink Even so, I don't know, what to think [Chorus] I've been longing for Daisies to push through the floor And I wish plant life would grow all around me So I won't feel dead anymore So I won't feel dead anymore [Verse 2] I saw a bear in the den Readin' my textbooks again Bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic Heaven knows, I could really use a friend [Chorus] I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heartstrings Would you strum on mine? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I've been longing for (I've been longing for) Daisies to push through the floor (I've never really felt like this before) And I wish plant life would grow all around me So I won't feel dead anymore So I won't feel dead anymore [Verse 3] Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet And give me a ghost of a smile Show me your teeth 'cause you're a teddy beneath So just grin and bear it a while Just grin and bear it a while [Chorus] I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heartstrings Would you strum on mine? [Bridge] (The brook babbles on about nothing at all) (A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall) Tonight I'm busting out Of this old haunted house Because I'm sick of waiting for All the spider webs to grow all around me Because I don't feel dead anymore And I'm not afraid anymore [Chorus] I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heartstrings Would you strum on mine? If I were to pluck on your heartstrings Would you strum on mine?
