There's a man who used to live up on the top floor
It's obvious he never found what he was looking for
And he appeared to me one night when I came walking through that door
Looked around and he's not there anymore
He's here and then he disappear
Saw the ghost of a man and his voice I did hear
He told me to be quiet, it was crystal clear
I looked around, and it filled me full of fear

Then I ran all the way to my room
Like an embryo inside the womb
Stuck my head under the covers like a loon
Soon my head was light like a balloon, yeah!
I said I ran all the way to my room
Like an embryo inside the womb
Stuck my head under the covers like a loon
Soon my head was light like a balloon, yeah!

This man he had a problem with excess noise after dark
He put his finger to his lips and the sound was sharp (shhhh!)
Soon the hair stood straight up off my arms
I felt so strange, slightly deranged
Saw the ghost of a man that killed himself
with a bullet at close range
But in the afterlife he still complained
About the noise in the hall, he never changed
Looking back I wish I could remember his name


Then I ran all the way to my room
Like an embryo inside the womb
Stuck my head under the covers like a loon
Soon my head was light like a balloon, yeah!
I said I ran all the way to my room
Like an embryo inside the womb
Stuck my head under the covers like a loon
Soon my head was light like a balloon, yeah!

I saw the ghost of a man
I was in a foreign land
Straight to my bed I ran
Look up at the ceiling fan
When my friends saw my face
Sweat dripping like I just won the race
This memory I can't erase

(ONE! TWO!)
