Plain White T's - The House On Shady Lane Lyrics
There's a house on Shady LaneBy the old cemetary where the dead remainThis place is haunted, so they sayWith my two friends and a flashlightWe waited till midnightTill we couldn't wait no moreWe opened up that doorDid you hear that sound?Did you hear that soundCalling from the underground?I think somebody's down thereWe should go right nowWe should leave right nowI don't think we're welcome hereAnd that's when she appeared, oh-oh-oh!I'm scared of this old houseWhen the lights go outAll the ghosts come out at nightAnd they dance in the shadows of the moonlightDon't open that cellar doorYou've heard that one beforeWhat goes in don't come outAnd that's why I'm so scared of this old houseWe tried to run but the door was lockedOur hearts beat louder than the cuckoo clock12:05, this old house came aliveDown at the end of the hallwayPast the cobwebs and bloodstainsIn the beam of our flashlightWas the lady dressed in whiteShe didn't make a soundShe just stared us downFloating in her wedding gownLike she died right at the altarShivers down my spineHave we lost our minds?Let's just slowly back awayAnd after us she came, oh-oh-oh!I'm scared of this old houseWhen the lights go outAll the ghosts come out at nightAnd they dance in the shadows of the moonlightDon't open that cellar doorYou've heard that one beforeWhat goes in don't come outAnd that's why I'm so scared of this old houseShady Lane, Shady LaneEverybody stay awayIf you wanna stay aliveDon't go in that house at nightShady Lane, Shady LaneEverybody stay awayIf you wanna stay aliveDon't go in that house at nightWe all ran our separate waysDown winding halls and secret passagewaysI hid downstairs, I thought I could escape(I heard those footsteps...)I heard those footsteps behind meLord don't let her find me (...find me...)Around my neck I felt her handsI never even had a chanceMy body hit the groundAnd I never made it out, oh-oh-oh!I'm scared of this old houseEveryone keep outBeware the lady in whiteWho walks these halls at midnightDon't open that cellar doorShe'll haunt you evermoreWhat goes in don't come outAnd now I'm just a ghost in this old houseOh-oh-oh!Oh-oh-oh!Oh-oh-oh!She still haunts meShe's always haunted me
