Spectre

Tonight I walk through walls and penetrate the cobblestone
Defying all belief it's here I walk and walk alone
It's damp outside it's cold and gray and leaves have withered dead
So desolate a place my soul is beckoned and is led
A snicker from a harvest moon the planes descending fast
A candle mass is hiding all the secrets from the past
Prop the top the music box with chimes of melody
A voodoo doll is lurking in the shadows stalking me

Running through the house I'm running running for my life
Something in the house is caught holding the knife
The walls replay impressions of misfortune and distress
Resurrection Mary is dancing in her party dress

An open window frees the smoke of vengeance laced with spite
So venture lifeless journeys drain and drink tonight
Halls of mirrors swinging knives and circus clowns of sin
An alchemist is cursing at a leprechaun and mannequin
Old man elderly is cackling from the second floor
Waltzing down the stairs Virginia fifty dollar whore
Automatic writing limbo feeds the hand that bits
Of levitation meditation years or gutter nights

Running through the house I'm running running for my life
Something in the house is left holding the knife
The walls replay impressions of misfortune and distress
Resurrection Mary is dancing in her party dress

Jack be nimble in the cellar light the candle stick
Hands That Hide from sight and sun will always do the trick
Defying all belief it's here I walk and walk alone
Tonight I walk through walls and penetrate the cobblestone

Running through the house I'm running running for my life
Something in the house is lurking holding the knife
The walls replay impressions of misfortune and distress
Resurrection Mary is dancing in her party dress

Limit skies the dead shall rise a compromising plea
So prop the top Pandora's box with chimes of melody
A painted smile suicide through oracle planchette
Russian séance spins the wheel gambling roulette
Jack be nimble in the cellar light the candle stick
Hands that hide from sight and sun will always do the trick
Defying all belief it's here I walk and walk alone
Tonight I walk through walls and penetrate the cobblestone
