Plant Life

I saw a ghost on the stairs

And sheets on the tables and chairs

The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink

Even so, I don't know what to think

I've been longing for daisies to push through the floor

And I wish plant life would grow all around me

So, I won't feel dead anymore

So, I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den

Readin' my textbooks again

Bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic

Heaven knows, I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?

I've been longing for (I've been longing for)

Daisies to push through the floor (I've never really felt like this before)

And I wish plant life would grow all around me

So, I won't feel dead anymore

So, I won't feel dead anymore

Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet

And give me a ghost of a smile

Show me your teeth, 'cause you're a teddy beneath

So, just grin and bear it a while

Just grin and bear it a while

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chiming for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?

The brook babbles on about nothing at all

A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall

Tonight I'm busting out of this old haunted house

'Cause I'm sick of waiting for all the spider webs to grow all around me

'Cause I don't feel dead anymore

And I'm not afraid anymore

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chiming for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings, would you strum on mine?
