lyrics

BENEATH THE FLOORBOARDS

((( Man # 5 )))

A sudden vibration
Beneath the floorboards
There's something happening
Unplug the light cords

It can see you moving
It can hear you breathing
If it senses our fear
We won't be leaving

Try not to panic
Just relax
Just close your eyes
I'll watch our backs

We'll bow our heads until we know
There's no more vibrations below

An infestation of apparitions
A confirmation of superstitions

The dead have risen
Bow your head
It isn't nice to raise the dead

We'll bow our heads until we know
If they're unhappy down below
And if they are, do they blame us?
Their rotting bones have turned to dust

If I were them I'd be upset
The meanest ghost you've ever met
I'd make you suffer for your sins
Until the end of time begins

But I'm not dead so I don't care
If they're unhappy
But beware of them my darling
Our year is just beginning

They won't kill me 'cause I have died
And I remember how it feels
But you've forgotten
The perfect target for them

You cannot beat the living dead
Especially when they're invisible
I'm sorry
Should have told you
You were doomed to die
You're dead

I always wonder where you go to
Between the time you die and our next Life
I hope you're happy up in Heaven
Until it's time to come back down and die

[words & music by Sean Schuyler]
