lyrics

["The ghosts are moving tonight, restless…hungry. May I introduce myself? I’m Watson Pritchard. In just a minute I’ll show you the only really haunted house in the world. Since it was built a century ago, seven people including my brother have been murdered in it. Since then, I’ve owned the house. I’ve only spent one night there and when they found me in the morning, I was almost dead.
I am Frederick Loren, and I have rented the house on Haunted Hill tonight so that my wife can give a party. A haunted house party. She's so amusing. There'll be food and drink and ghosts, and perhaps even a few murders. You're all invited. If any of you will spend the next twelve hours in this house, I will give you each ten thousand dollars, or your next of kin in case you don't survive. Ah, but here come our other guests. It was my wife’s idea to have our guests come in funeral cars. She’s so amusing. Her sense of humor is shall we say, original.”]

I’ve done things for money that I don’t regret.
I’ve done worse for fun, wanna place a bet?
My liver’s a wasteland of alcohol. Been soaked, never accepted a parasol.
Who’s to even care when I go?
Fired actors of a cancelled show.
I’ll be smiling at my funeral.
What good are the kids without riots?
Family will benefit from my silence.
So sick of earth and it’s fighting just like it was monsters inside my head.
But do they compare to the monsters I’ve had in my bed?

I’ll never make my father proud and that’s fine by me.
This is nothing new. I’m used to invisibility. My tranquility soliloquy.

I have cheated those who have loved me.
Sworn revenge on the those who I had treated right.
Now I’m careful bout who I let touch me.
Most important is peace of mind.
Black sheep. Black sheep. Wanna play a game?
Don’t you want the world to remember your name?
Shooting at nothing, I’m calling shenanigans on this ring toss.
My bed is dressed like a casket and when I get sleep it just feels like a rip off.

I’ll never make my father proud and that’s fine by me.
This is nothing new. I’m used to invisibility.
I’ll never make my father proud and that’s fine by me.
This is nothing new. I’m used to invisibility. My tranquility soliloquy.

[“Well, where is everybody? It isn’t a very warm welcome is it? Only the ghosts in this house are glad we’re here. Are we all strangers to each other? Don’t you two know each other? I’m afraid I don’t even know your name.”]
