Downstairs, courage in a bottle while upstairs
They’re screwing and they squabble
It’s all here, in my gothic novel
Listen and learn, it’s a tough act to follow
Fiction, but what could be stranger than
Addiction to a beautiful stranger
Some mixture of evil and good
If anyone could, yeah, that’s you in the picture
The ghosts here, members in good standing
Are respectful, but quietly demanding
They ask only love and understanding
They settled before but now want more
You’re all here in my gothic novel
Let’s all cheer for my gothic novel
Yes, this year in my gothic novel
You all will die, then reappear
The same thing exciting me
Is the same thing that’s fighting me
It’s the same thing inviting me
But somehow it’s not uniting me
Your silver bullets and your crucifix
Nothing you’ve tried before is gonna fix
It’s time to find yourself some new sidekicks
Forget the heroics, just do your aerobics
The ghosts here, members in good standing
Are respectful, but quietly demanding
They ask only love and understanding
They settled before but now want more
You’re all here in my gothic novel
Let’s all cheer for my gothic novel
Yes, this year in my gothic novel
You all will die, then reappear
A fine friend all of you turned out to be
A fine line ‘tween loving me and hating me
Fine-tuned by misery and memory
I crossed that line. Can you cross yours?
Some ghosts you’re better off friending them
Some ghosts you’re better off ending them
But most ghosts don’t care what you are sending them
Provided it’s no different than what came before
The ghosts here, members in good standing
Are respectful, but quietly demanding
They ask only love and understanding
They settled before but now want more
You’re all here in my gothic novel
Let’s all cheer for my gothic novel
Yes, this year in my gothic novel
You all will die, then reappear
The ghosts here, members in good standing
Are respectful, but quietly demanding
They ask only love and understanding
They settled before but now want more
You’re all here in my gothic novel
Let’s all cheer for my gothic novel
Yes, this year in my gothic novel
You all will die, then reappear
The ghosts here, members in good standing
Are respectful, but quietly demanding
They ask only love and understanding
They settled before but now want more
You’re all here in my gothic novel
Let’s all cheer for my gothic novel
Yes, this year in my gothic novel
You all will die, then reappear
