Lyrics Dearly Departed (feat. Esmé Patterson) - Shakey Graves

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 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

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

Oh, 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 and 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
