the house on shady lane

there's a house on shady lane

by the old cemetary 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 that 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

oh oh oh!

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 heard that one before

what goes in don't come out

and 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 flashlight

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

oh oh oh!

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 heard that one before

what goes in don't come out

and that's why i'm so scared of this old house

shady lane

shady lane

everybody stay away

if you wanna stay alive

don't go in that house at night

shady lane

shady lane

everybody stay away

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 find 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

oh oh oh!

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
