I Thought I Saw You Last Night

I'm not easily scared by
Things that go bump in the night
There's not many things that
Give me a fright
I can walk down a lonely block
But not alot can make my own
Knees knock

But there's one thing that
Scares me the most
It's when I think I see a ghost
And I thought I saw you last night

I've been lately thinking
About ouija-board
And maybe contacting souls
Seated by the lord
Cause all the shadows
On my street
Bring the sounds of
Shuffling feet

But there's one thing that
Scares me the most
It's when I think I see a ghost
And I thought I saw you last night

Threw salt over my shoulder
And knocked on wood
Don't step on cracks
But it does no good
I drink a bourbon
To calm my nerves
Read an old book and chant some verse
Hold hot coals in the middle of my fists
Take advice from my exorcist
Hallelujah Hail mary Holy moly
This is scary

For instance last night
I went to a scary movie
And I tried real hard
Not to let it get to me
But I just kept looking
Over my shoulder
The wind got hands
And I got colder

But there's one thing that
Scares me the most
It's when I think I see a ghost
And I thought I saw you last night
I thought I saw you last night
I'm not easily scared
By things that go bump
In the night
