The House On Shady Lane
There is a house on Shady Lane By the old cemetery where the dead remain This place is haunted, so they say With my two friends and a flashlight We waited till midnight Till we couldn't wait no more We opened up the door Did you hear that sound? Did you hear that sound Calling from the underground? I think somebody's down there We should go right now We should leave right now I don't think we're welcome here And that's when she appeared I'm scared of this old house When the lights go out All the ghosts come out at night And they dance in the shadows of the moonlight Don't open that cellar door You've learned that one before What goes in don't come out SongtexteAnd that's why I'm so scared of this old house We tried to run but the door was locked Our hearts beat louder than a kookoo clock 12:05, this old house came alive Down at the end of the hallway Past the cobwebs and bloodstains In the beam of our flashlights Was the lady dressed in white She didn't make a sound She just stared us down Floating in her wedding gown Like she died right at the altar Shivers down my spine Have we lost our minds? Let's just slowly back away And after us she came I'm scared of this old house When the lights go out All the ghosts come out at night And they dance in the shadows of the moonlight Don't open that cellar door You've learned that one before What goes in don't come out And that's why I'm so scared of this old house Dreaming, dreaming Everybody stay awake If you wanna stay alive Don't go in that house at night We all ran our separate ways Down winding halls and secret passageways I hid downstairs, I thought I could escape I heard those footsteps behind me Lord don't let her fine me Around my neck I felt her hands I never even had a chance My body hit the ground And I never made it out I'm scared of this old house Everyone keep out Beware the lady in white Who walks these halls at midnight Don't open that cellar door She'll haunt you evermore What goes in don't come out And now I'm just a ghost in this old house She still haunts me She's always haunted me Aus Songtexte Mania
