Tango With a Ghost

Verse 1
It was an airbnb that was cheap
A creepy house on a creepy street
The lawn was neglected and the trees were
Dead and black

We entered and dropped our bags by the floor
The wind picked up and it slammed the door
I heard a chuckle and a voice said
“Let’s Dance.”

Pre-chorus 1
We looked at each other with fear in our eyes
This would be the night of our lives

Chorus
Waltzing with the darkness
Tango with a ghost
Swinging with a spirit
Cha cha with the host
Whirling, shaking, sliding
Temperature of ice
Blood in veins, take the reins
Roll a loaded dice

Verse 2
The pendant lights started to swing
The globes flickered like a strobelight thing
I swear a shadow on the wall moved
of its own accord

Pre-chorus 2
The tension in the room started to rise
This would be the night of our lives

Chorus

Verse 3
The CD player roared into life
Fear gripped me like a vice
Up from the floor rose a presence and it grabbed my wrists
It pulled me close close and my heart leapt
Cheek to cheek and step to step

Verse 4
We tried to run but I tripped and fell
Knocked myself out and woke up in hell
The Devil asked my name but I couldn’t speak
Finally a light shined down on me
I turned around and blinked to see
It was then I noticed the curtains, pillow and sheets

Pre-chorus 3
It was only a dream I had in my head
But I was all alone and this wasn’t my bed

Chorus
Whirling, shaking, sliding
Temperature of ice
Blood in veins, take the reins
Roll a loaded dice

Outro
Striding to the left
Focused and engrossed
Turning right, feeling light
Tango with a ghost
