Ghouls n Ghosts by The Mannequins Lyrics
Thought I found you in a
A secret society
Was a mafia front
Down the street from me
Found an old photograph but
That doesn’t look like me
And I hope I find you in good health
Cause you stole my ID
And I beg and I hope and I pray
For the end of the day
Cause I’ve got something for you
(The Mannequins. What do you think about that? What? Is it okay if we record in here? Yeah, no I mean it's cool. What kind of music do you guys play? It's like, alt rock. It's weird, we just do whatever, I don't know.)
Taking in oxygen and
You’re taking your vitamins, man
(man, oh shoot)
Never knew that it was bad
Wish I could show you something
To stop the pain of feeling nothing
Spreading light, just like you plannеd
Well, I planned
And you beg and you hopе and you pray
For the end of the day
Cause I’ve got something for you
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh)
Everything you love the most, babe
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
And I’ve been searching cemeteries
Looking for your dead body
I’ve been looking for a teenage ghost
(Can I get two chicken tacos with no tomato, and a drink? For here, right? Yeah for here. $7.27 please.)
And I’ve got a bed sheet, baby
With two holes for eyes (Hahaha)
And now nobody sees me
And they all think you died
But why’d you have to be so mean?
It was Halloween
But now it’s every day
GO
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh)
Everything you love the most, babe
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
And I’ve been searching cemeteries
Looking for your dead body
I’ve been looking for a teenage ghost
Make it real
Take it out of your head
What you think about in bed
Who do you think about in bed?
Make it real
And make it round
Something to put your arms around
Someone to put your arms around
And we’ll carve our names into the bridge
We’ll pretend that we were cool kids
We’ll pretend that things were different
That it didn’t end
We’ll pretend we lived immortally
And there was no one in this town except for you and me
We’ll pretend that things were different
That it didn’t end
We’ll pretend that our idealized youth
Didn’t end at age 9 or age 5 or 2
We’ll pretend that things were different
That everything was alright...
At least tonight
Cause I’m holding onto her, in the backseat by the heater
And she whispers in my ear and I swear that I believe her
Cause I’ve been waiting for this moment since the day that Jesus died
I’ve been waiting for this moment since the music started. (1995)
And I look at her and she hits with me those eyes
And I don’t know where I am and I don’t know where I lie
But I’m so happy I could die
I’m so happy I could die
And I’ve been waiting for you and your smile all my life
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh)
Everything you love the most, babe
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
And I’ve been searching cemeteries
Looking for your dead body
I’ve been looking for a teenage ghost
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh)
Everything you love the most, babe
Ghouls and ghosts (oh oh oh, oh oh oh)
And I’ve been searching cemeteries
Looking for your dead body
I’ve been looking for a teenage ghost
A secret society
Was a mafia front
Down the street from me
Found an old photograph but
That doesn’t look like me
And I hope I find you in good health
Cause you stole my ID
And I beg and I hope and I pray
