[Verse 1]

Noises down in the basement

Voices up in the attic

Figures prowl in the garden

Shadows lurk in the parlor

[Verse 2]

Awake long after midnight

Objects move in the darkness

Haunted by night wailing

Harassed by something unclean

[Verse 3]

Do you have a problem

With the warm-blooded?

Infected by the non-dead

It’s an infestation

Of troublesome mortals

Warm and perishable

[Chorus]

When you’re no longer flesh and bone

The living still won’t leave you alone

Just because your body’s grown cold

Doesn’t mean they can possess your home

You had hoped for eternal peace

But the living still plague the deceased

[Verse 4]

Houseguests, awful and ghastly

Breathers, hostile and nasty

Creatures, loathsome and dreadful

Bleeders, selfish and vile

[Verse 5]

Can you feel the presence

Stirring in the mire

Waiting to expire?

Can you hear the bound souls

Swirling in the ether

Growing like a fever?

[Chorus]

When you’re no longer flesh and bone

The living still won’t leave you alone

Just because your body’s grown cold

Doesn’t mean they can possess your home

You had hoped for eternal peace

But the living still plague the deceased

[Chorus]

When you’re no longer flesh and bone

The living still won’t leave you alone

Just because your body’s grown cold

Doesn’t mean they can possess your home

You had hoped for eternal peace

But the living still plague the deceased
