The Hauntings of a Skeleton King
Welcome to the demons at the door
Don't be shy now come on in
Midnight's struck and the fun begins, if you
Turn your head just an inch or two or three or four behind,
You just might catch a glimpse of the ghost that's keeping me alive
Some might call it crazy but to me this feels amazing, if you
Never go to bed or close your eyes you sit up shaking, but those
Skeletons in your closet are feeling free spill out the faucet, and now you
Know they're salivating all the while that you say goodnight
Rat-a-tat-tat creep the callings from the window pane
Creaking in the floorboards say you'll never be the same
One more round for the iron chains
Let the weary weights resonate through your pretty veins
Rat-a-tat-tat now accentuate the pain, until
Everybody's dead but you regretfully remain, and now you're
Sitting in your room contemplating all that's been and
Here's to all the things that you've seen
That you've seen
That you've seen
That you've seen
So now you're hell bound and there's no one else around, come on now
Settle down in a reborn town, don't you worry all the clowns never make a sound,
Your eyelids, they're heavy, but my songs will keep you up, well I said
Your eyelids, they're heavy, but my songs will keep you up at night
Judging by the bags underneath your tired eyes
And your undeniable reluctancy to rise
They'll sneer at inaction and suffocate reaction til they
Get what they came for
Rat-a-tat-tat creep the callings from the window pane
Creaking in the floorboards say you'll never be the same
One more round for the iron chains
Let the weary weights resonate through your pretty veins
Rat-a-tat-tat now accentuate the pain, until
Everybody's dead but you regretfully remain, and now you're
Sitting in your room contemplating all that's been and
Here's to all the things that you've seen
Dainty feet across the dawn of time
Sainted black hearts with jaded minds, we're
Heathens that will cheat and lie
Stalking you forever til the day you die, now
Rat-a-tat-tat
Rat-a-tat-tat
Settle up your debts, you're not sleeping tonight
You can walk this haunted house while it sings you goodnight
It sings you goodnight
Don't be shy now come on in
Midnight's struck and the fun begins, if you
Turn your head just an inch or two or three or four behind,
You just might catch a glimpse of the ghost that's keeping me alive
Some might call it crazy but to me this feels amazing, if you
Never go to bed or close your eyes you sit up shaking, but those
Skeletons in your closet are feeling free spill out the faucet, and now you
Know they're salivating all the while that you say goodnight
Rat-a-tat-tat creep the callings from the window pane
Creaking in the floorboards say you'll never be the same
One more round for the iron chains
Let the weary weights resonate through your pretty veins
Rat-a-tat-tat now accentuate the pain, until
Everybody's dead but you regretfully remain, and now you're
Sitting in your room contemplating all that's been and
Here's to all the things that you've seen
That you've seen
That you've seen
That you've seen
So now you're hell bound and there's no one else around, come on now
Settle down in a reborn town, don't you worry all the clowns never make a sound,

Rat-a-tat-tat

You can walk this haunted house while it sings you goodnight
It sings you goodnight
