Lyrics

Intro

Hey-ya, hey-ya, ah-ah (ah)

Ba-da, ba-da, whoa-oh

Verse

Footsteps on the ceiling, tap-tap in the hall

Porch light's swinging slow, pictures watching us all

Cold breath at the doorway, name called on the stair

You don't have to face it — we will meet you there

Pre-chorus

Flip the switch, crank the dial (crank it up)

Grab the coat, take my hand (take my hand)

We don't come for trouble, we come to stand

When the night won't let you be, we'll make it bend

Chorus

We're the Ghostbusters, we're running tonight (we're running)

We're the Ghostbusters, we bring back the light (bring it back)

We're the Ghostbusters, steady on the wire (steady now)

We're the Ghostbusters, hold on, hold on, hold on (hold on)

Verse

There are notes in the mirror, singing out of tune

Candles blow against the wind, a clock that lost noon

Old letters on the floor, footprints that don't fade

We read the map of why — then we walk the blade

Pre-chorus

Call the names, read the signs (read the signs)

Slow your breath, count to four (count it slow)

We don't chase for glory, we open doors

We give the lost a place to go

Chorus

We're the Ghostbusters, we're running tonight (oh-oh)

We're the Ghostbusters, we bring back the light (yeah)

We're the Ghostbusters, steady on the wire (steady)

We're the Ghostbusters, hold on, hold on, hold on (hold on)

Bridge

Ooh — step by step, step by step (step)

Uh-huh — one by one, one by one (one, one)

La-la-la, la-la-la (la), ba-ba, ba-ba (ba)

We hum a tune the lost can follow (follow)

We hum a tune the lonely know

We're not a myth, we're not a name

We're the ones who break the chain (break it)

Turn the fear into a story told

Warm the cold, and guide them home

Chorus

We're the Ghostbusters, we're running tonight (we're running)

We're the Ghostbusters, we bring back the light (bring it back)

We're the Ghostbusters, steady on the wire (steady now)

We're the Ghostbusters, hold on, hold on, hold on (hold on)

We're the Ghostbusters, we're running tonight (we're running)

We're the Ghostbusters, we bring back the light (bring it back)

We're the Ghostbusters, steady on the wire (steady now)

We're the Ghostbusters, hold on, hold on, hold on (hold on)
