Plant life
I saw a ghost on the stairsAnd sheets on the tables and chairsThe silverware swamWith the sharks in the sinkEven so, I don't know what to think
I've been longing forDaisies to push through the floorAnd I wish plant lifeWould grow all around meSo I won't feel dead anymoreSo I won't feel dead anymore
I saw a bear in the denReadin' my textbooks againBats float like trafficAs they pour from the atticHeaven knows I could really use a friend
(Chorus)I'd rather waltzThan just walk through the forestThe trees keep the tempo and they sway in timeQuartet of crickets chime in for the chorusIf I were to pluck on your heartstringsWould you strum on mine?
I've been longing for(I've been longing for)Daisies to push through the floor(I never really felt like this before)And I wish plant lifeWould grow all around meSo I won't feel dead anymoreSo I won't feel dead anymore
Your spirit is sweetSo pull off your sheetAnd give me a ghost of a smileShow me your teethCuz you're a teddy beneathSo just grin and bear it awhileJust grin and bear it awhile
(Chorus)
(I thought that was all about lovin' and all)(New leaf turns over, I'm willing to fall)
Tonight I'm bustin' outOf this old haunted houseCuz I'm sick of waiting forAll those spider webs to grow all around meCuz I don't feel dead anymoreAnd I'm not afraid anymore
(Chorus)
If I were to pluck on your heartstringsWould you strum on mine?
