Dearly Departed Songtext
von Shakey Graves feat. Esmé Patterson

ohhhhhhwell
you and i both know that the house is haunted
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 didnt seem so strange.
you used to bite, i used to moan
but now im mumblin and you choke
well i aint im so scary on my own ohohohh
tell me honey whats a dager without a cloak?
i dont know
well
you and i both know that the house is haunted
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 didnt seem so strange.
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 things were fake


i just had to
uh
well
you and i both know that the house is haunted
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 didnt seem so strange.
even when one is dead and gone
it still takes two to make a house a home
well im as lonesome as the catacombs
i hear you call my name but no one is there
except a feeling 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 screamin slamin all them doors
well im all grown up now i dont scare easy no more.
but you and i both know that the house is haunted
ohhhhhh
yeah you and i both know
ohhhhh
yeah you and i both know
ohhhhh
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhoh oh oh
ohhhhhhhhh
