I've got a ghost in the attic.
She likes to weep and moan.
I've got a skeleton in the closet.
He keeps on rattlin' his bones.
I've got a ghoul in the cupboard.
She won't stop shaking her chains.
I've got a zombie in the basement.
He plans on eatin' my brains.
But it's alive baby, ALIVE!
I've got a man with a shovel.
He's digging up graves.
There's a man with a cross.
He says I've got no soul to save.
There's some men around the town.
They're stocking up on pitchforks.
And though the thunder's passed us by
I still feel a comin' storm.
But it's alive baby, ALIVE!
There's a man on a horse.
He says he wants his head back.
If I tell him I've used it
he might take mine instead.
There's a mob with a torch.
They're banging at the gate.
And there's a monster in my lab
who says he wants a mate.
but it's alive baby, ALIVE!
