The Ghosts That Haunt Me - Crash Test Dummies

There's a skeleton in everybody's closet

I can think of one or two in my own room

But I would like to introduce them both to you

You'd shake their bony hands and so dispel the gloom

'Cause you're so kind I know you would not mind

You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now

And the things I fear just wouldn't seem so near

When I stroll out late at night

There would be nothing rattling at my heels

There are nights when all my aching bones

Won't let me sleep

Demons come to plague me as I lie in bed

But I know if you were sleeping there beside me then

That you could fend them off and they would let me rest

'Cause you're so kind I know you would not mind

You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now

And the things I fear just wouldn't seem so near

When I stroll out late at night

There would be nothing rattling at my heels

There are nights when the wind

Comes ravaging my old place

I have dreams and

I wake up with the sweat pouring down my face

And I wait till the morning comes

There will come a time I fear when all my days are done

They will come collect my corpse and bury me

But I hope that you'll come over to the other side

To join me in our new life keep me company

'Cause you're so kind I know you would not mind

You'd send away the ghosts that haunt me now

And the things I fear just wouldn't seem so near

When I stroll out late at night

There would be nothing rattling at my heels
