about

A song that's just thoroughly haunted by spirits. Especially in the instrumental breakdown. I channeled the ghost cacophony with cello, musical saw, piano, slide whistle, electric guitar, and some pitch-bent synths. Boo!

lyrics

I guess that there's ghosts in the attic
It must be the ghosts that are banging around
It seems that there's ghosts in the attic
Must be the ghosts that keep making that sound
And I sure wouldn't go up there
When ghosts are lurking everywhere
They haunt the spaces in the walls
But I'm not sure you care at all
At all

There must be ghosts in the water
I think it's the ghosts that make it so cold
I'm sure that there's ghosts in the water
Must be the ghosts, I know it's getting old
And it's strange but it seems to me
We're flanked by things that we can't see
And we've repelled the mosquitoes
So I guess that it must be ghosts
Be ghosts

I think that there's ghosts in between us
Must be the ghosts that push us apart
Yes there are ghosts in between us
Must be the ghosts that keep breaking our hearts
And this could be the worst of it
If we can't just get over this
And we're the ones that hurt the most
But I say blame it all on ghosts
On ghosts
