[Intro – slow piano, distant chain rhythm] Dragging chains come sliding near, first a shuffle in my ear then louder rattling everywhere. Hoooo and boooo above my head, aaaauuuu and ooooo spread, till the rhythm fills the air. [soft rolling thunder] Lightning flickers through the hall, shadows climbing up the wall. The spirit in my house throws quite a show. [Chorus – dramatic build] He stomps and pounds, he makes grand sounds, he shakes the doors and floors below. [echo “boo” in background] But I just stand and calmly stare, and watch him roar and flare. [Verse 2 – witchy texture] The witch-like laughter lingers long, turns to giggles in a song. [light eerie laughter echo] A stretched-out wail fills every room, windows hum in gentle boom. The silence that comes drifting in never lasts — it starts again. All because I choose to stay. [Bridge – theatrical chaos build] Wallpaper curls across the floor, twisting shapes beneath the door. [paper rustling texture] Shadows dance and chains will swing, hammered echoes start to ring. [metallic hit accent] Walls begin to sway and bend, floors feel soft from end to end. [deep rumble] And I laugh… [soft laugh] And I laugh… [louder theatrical laugh] Because my noisy ghost is just pretend. [Verse 3 – comic twist] He thinks chalk scratching makes me freeze, [chalk squeak accent] hopes I’ll run in frightful breeze. Bulging eyes and crashing sound try to shake the solid ground. But I never understood all the fuss about what’s “no good.” Spirits, whispers, midnight jokes — I… quite like ghosts. [Final – warm humorous ending] Discouraged now he sits by me, tomorrow night he’ll try, you’ll see. We share a quiet, simple beer, I take a sip — he lingers near. [bottle pop sound] One last half-hearted boo he sighs, a crooked chuckle softly dies. [soft ghost sigh] And together now we wait for a bright and shining day. [gentle morning birds fade in]
Lyrics
Dragging chains come sliding near,
first a shuffle in my ear
then louder rattling everywhere.
Hoooo and boooo above my head,
aaaauuuu and ooooo spread,
till the rhythm fills the air.
[soft rolling thunder]
Lightning flickers through the hall,
shadows climbing up the wall.
The spirit in my house throws quite a show.
He stomps and pounds,
he makes grand sounds,
he shakes the doors and floors below.
[echo “boo” in background]
But I just stand and calmly stare,
and watch him roar and flare.
The witch-like laughter lingers long,
turns to giggles in a song.
[light eerie laughter echo]
A stretched-out wail fills every room,
windows hum in gentle boom.
The silence that comes drifting in
never lasts — it starts again.
All because I choose to stay.
Wallpaper curls across the floor,
twisting shapes beneath the door.
[paper rustling texture]
Shadows dance and chains will swing,
hammered echoes start to ring.
[metallic hit accent]
Walls begin to sway and bend,
floors feel soft from end to end.
[deep rumble]
And I laugh…
[soft laugh]
And I laugh…
[louder theatrical laugh]
Because my noisy ghost is just pretend.
He thinks chalk scratching makes me freeze,
[chalk squeak accent]
hopes I’ll run in frightful breeze.
Bulging eyes and crashing sound
try to shake the solid ground.
But I never understood
all the fuss about what’s “no good.”
Spirits, whispers, midnight jokes —
I… quite like ghosts.Discouraged now he sits by me,
tomorrow night he’ll try, you’ll see.
We share a quiet, simple beer,
I take a sip — he lingers near.
[bottle pop sound]
One last half-hearted boo he sighs,
a crooked chuckle softly dies.
[soft ghost sigh]
And together now we wait
for a bright and shining day.
[gentle morning birds fade in]
