checkin' out the ghosts

the wind blows cold and the river swells

and the new moon's going wild

and the walls grow thin

it's the state i'm in

you'll just have to excuse me tonight

cause i'm just checkin' out the ghosts

checkin' out the ghosts

we wake the beast when we stir the fire

we just can't let it be

after all these years sometimes i still want you near

and it runs bone deep

cause i'm just checkin' out the ghosts

seeing if they're still here

hiding in the closet

cause its helly in here

checkin' out the ghosts

i'm just checkin' out the ghosts

i'm just checkin' out the ghosts

seeing if they're still here

hiding in the closet

weighing down the air

just checkin' out the ghosts

sleeping in my bed

running down my back

messing up my head

i'm just checkin' the ghosts

just checkin' out the ghost

i'm just checkin' out the ghosts
