Lyrics Shakey Graves – Dearly Departed

Oooooh x4

Well
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me

Shakey
You used to bite, I used to moan
Esme
But now I’m mumbling and you choke
Shakey
Well it ain’t so scary on my own
Esme
Tell me honey, what’s a dagger without a cloak?

I don’t know ’cause
You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattlin your chains
Well back then baby, it didn’t seem so strange

Shakey
In the midnight hour you came alive
Esme
I was lookin’ for my crystal ball
Shakey
I was busy tryin’ to charm that snake ssss
When the sun came up we had no place to hide
Shakey
And you had to tell your friends that my fangs were fake
Esme
I just had to

You and I both know that the house is haunted
And you and I both know that the ghost is me
You used to catch me in your bed sheets just rattlin your chains
Well back then baby, it didn’t seem so strange

Even when one is dead and gone
It still takes two to make a house a home
Well I’m as lonesome as the catacombs
I hear you call my name but no one is there
Except a feeling in the air

You and I both know that the house is haunted
Yeah you and I both know that the ghost is you
Used to walk around screaming, all slamming all ‘dem doors
Well I’m all grown up now, I don’t scare easy no more

Yeah, you and I both know
Oooohh
Yeah, you and I both know
Oooohh
Yeah, you and I both know
Oooohh
Oooohh
