Plant Life

[Intro] I saw a ghost on the stairs And sheets on the tables and chairs The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink Even so, I don't know, what to think [Chorus 1] I've been longing for Daisies to push through the floor And I wish that plant life would grow all around me So I won't feel dead anymore So I won't feel dead anymore [Verse 1] I saw a bear in the den Reading my textbooks again Bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic Heaven knows, I could really use a friend [Chorus 2] I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heartstrings would you strum on mine? [Chorus 1] [Verse 2] Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet And give me a ghost of a smile Show me your teeth, because you're teddy beneath So just grin and bear it a while Just grin and bear it a while [Chorus 2] [Verse 3] Tonight I'm busting out Of this old haunted house Because I'm sick of waiting for All the spider webs to grow all around me Because I don't feel dead anymore And I'm not afraid anymore [Chorus 2]
