Dearly Departed Songtext
von Shakey Graves feat. Esmé Patterson

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

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 bedsheets just a-rattling your chains
Well, back then, baby, it didn′t seem so strange

You used to bite, I used to moan
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?
Well, I don't know

′Cause, you and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah, you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bedsheets just a-rattling your chains
Well, back then, baby, it didn′t seem so strange


In the midnight hour, you came alive
I was looking for my crystal ball
I was busy trying to charm that snake
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)

Well, you and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah, you and I both know, the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bedsheets just a-rattling your chains
Well, back then, baby, it didn't seem so strange

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 if you′re in the air

Well, 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 'em doors
Well, I′m all grown up now, I don't scare easy no more

But you and I both know (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, you and I both know (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Yeah, you and I both know (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
