Plant Life

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 I've been longing for daisies to push through the floor And I wish plant life would grow all around me So I won't feel dead anymore, So I won't feel dead anymore I saw a bear in the den reading my textbooks again The bats flowed like traffic as they poured from the attic Heaven knows I could really use a friend I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine? I've been longing for daisies to push through the floor And I wish plant life would grow all around me So I won't feel dead anymore, So I won't feel dead anymore Your spirit is sweet, so pull off your sheet And give me a ghost of a smile Show me your teeth 'cause you're a teddy beneath So just grin and bear it a while, So just grin and bear it a while I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine? The book babbles on about nothing at all A new leaf turns over, unwilling to fall Tonight I'm busting out of this old haunted house Cause I'm sick of waiting for all those spider webs to grow all around me Cause I don't feel dead anymore And I'm not afraid anymore I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest The trees keep the tempo and they swing in time Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine? If I were to pluck on your heart strings, would you strum on mine?
