“The Cemetery Song”

Let’s move into that house next to the cemetery,
With the two broken windows and the big cypress tree.
We’ll listen to the ghost dance until dawn,
Around pink flamingos that we put on the lawn.
Let’s hang a horseshoe over the front door.
Every night I’ll pray that my sins are paid for.
That’d be something to see, you and me, next to the cemetery.

Well, I’ll hold you real tight if you really get scared.
Tell you it’s the wind or a mouse under the stairs.
Something ‘bout this place puts me under a spell.
If you play along, I promise not to tell.
Through thick and thin, good and bad, right or wrong,
Ain’t no wind so strong as to blow down this home.
We’ll be so happy, that’s you and me, next to the cemetery.

Loving someone is so frightening,
Like voices in the night.
So bring on the thunder and lightning,
It can only ease the fright.
You never know it just might...

Let’s move into that house next to the cemetery,
With the two broken windows and the big cypress tree.
We’ll listen to the ghost dance until dawn,
Around pink flamingos that we put on the lawn.
Every haunted castle needs a King and Queen.
Every night we’ll pretend it’s just like Halloween.
We could be so happy, that’s you and me...
Next to the cemetery...
We’ll be so happy, you and me, next to the cemetery.
