This was written for Katya at Oddio Overplay for the 2006 Halloween compilation, Calling All Fiends. You'll find this at track 27.

 

Thanks to Frankie Big Face for the fabulous sax tracks! There's also a glass harmonica (tuned wine glasses) in there making more scary noises. 

And Jason's "ooooooo" gets it all going :)

———————————————————————————

have you ever seen

a living ghost

a soul alive

a walking host

I saw a man

he came to me

I couldn't hear

but I could see

he stood and stared

I wasn't scared 

until a muted noise

made me think I lost the choice

i'd be scared if I believed

he looked so real like he could breath

if I believed then I'd be scared

if I could breath I'd yell "beware!!!!"

he was there for like an hour 

I didn't know then what for

he came and left I don't know how

but he didn't use a door

he made it known his watchful eye

would follow me each and every day

and what i feared and what i dread...

what will i do that makes me pay?

 

he stood and stared

I wasn't scared 

until a muted noise

made me know I lost my choice

i'd be scared if I believed

he looked so real like he could breath

if I believed then I'd be scared

if I could breath I'd yell "beware!!!!"

 

well, i was scared cause I believe

he was so real and he could breath

I believe so I was scared

if I could breath I'd run from there! i'd run from there...
