about

In which an incompetent ghostbuster creeps around the graveyard at midnight with a butterfly net and a hoover.

lyrics

Oh bumpy night and scary fright,
Who’s coming back for more?
By coffin nail and slimy snail
Through sneaky cellar door
They tuck us in with fairy tales
For turning out the light

But who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?

Come, bold immortal
Through the portal
Broken but unbowed
Your curtain call
After the fall,
Once more unto the crowd
Was your ovation, adulation,
Not enough, not quite?

Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?

Show me the angels
The devils alight
Burning and turning
the tricks of the light

All you loafing lazies pushing daisies
Rise up and unite!
No eerie wails or fairy tales
Just tell me I was right

Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?

Show me the angels
The devils alight

Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep?
Who couldn’t sleep this night?
