about

Seventeen Ghosts but only one's haunting me.

lyrics

Seventeen ghosts
haunt my house on this lonely street
Seventeen ghosts you'd just never believe
seventeen ghosts roam these halls when I go to sleep
Seventeen ghosts and they're here just for me

17 ghosts
there's one named Bob from the civil war
17 ghosts
there's a girl barely four
17 ghosts
a poltergeist that keeps slamming doors
17 ghosts one drags chains 'cross my floor

A toy clown in a chair seems to laugh so incessantly
something kicks my bed while it tugs on my sheets
Hear a scream from my closet
shrill intense so blood curdling
A ghost in my toilet
I can hear it go pee

There's two ghosts in my kitchen
Haunting all my appliances
One making toast while another makes tea
there's a ghost in my air ducts
messing up my air conditioning
a ghost from Miami records Spanish TV

I heard ghost call my name
another ghost tried to tickle me
a ghost in my toothbrush
tried to whiten my teeth
Is that a ghost on my phone
I won't buy what it's selling me
17 ghosts where is my sanity

The seventeenth ghosts is what I lost
it's your memory
the seventeenth ghost
in my heart endlessly
seventeen ghosts but only one scares me
can't you see
seventeen ghosts I can never break free

seventeen ghosts oh ho
seventeen ghosts
seventeen ghosts and you're still haunting me.

forget all those other sixteen ghosts
there's only one that ever scares me
it's you
you're the seventeenth ghost
