Dearly Departed

Lyrics

[Intro: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh [Chorus: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] 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 just rattlin your chains Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange [Verse 1: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] You used to bite, I used to moan But now I mumble and you choke Well I ain't so scary on my own Tell me honey, what's a dagger without a cloak? Well, I don't know [Chorus: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] '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 just rattlin your chains Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange [Verse 2: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] In the midnight hour, you came alive I was lookin' for my crystal ball I was busy tryin' to charm that snake ssss 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 [Chorus: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] 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 just rattlin' your chains Well back then baby, it didn't seem so strange [Bridge Shakey Graves with Esme Patterson] But 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 feeling in the air [Chorus: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] You and I both know that the house is haunted Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is you Used to walk around screaming, oh, slamming all them doors Well I'm all grown up now, I don't scare easy no more [Outro: Shakey Graves and Esme Patterson] Yeah, you and I both know Oooohh Yeah, you and I both know Oooohh Yeah, you and I both know Oooohh Oooohh
