Haunted
Billy & The Dukes Lyrics

Down the long, wooden stairway echoes rattles and clanks
In the eerie atmosphere of the old house, the sound of rattling and clanking echoes down the staircase, creating an unsettling feeling.

From some corner of the attic; cold, dusty and dank
From a dark and neglected corner of the attic, where it is chilly, filled with dust and dampness, strange occurrences emerge.

In the night the shadows that dance across the wall
During the night, the shadows cast upon the wall appear to move and dance, contributing to a sense of unease.

Seem as they're making the whispers winding down the hall
The shifting shadows give the impression that whispers are flowing along the hallway, heightening the feeling of a haunting presence.

You'll close the windows and white drapes, tell yourself it's the wind
Attempting to reassure yourself, you close the windows and draw the white drapes, convincing yourself that the unsettling sounds are merely caused by the wind.

But you know that there's another reason for the goosebumps on your skin
Deep down, you understand that there is an underlying cause for the goosebumps that appear on your skin, indicating a presence beyond the natural explanation.

And you don't even know that you're in for the fright of your life
Unaware of the impending terror that awaits, you remain oblivious to the impending fear and chaos that will consume your existence.

But what you don't know can hurt you in the darkness of the night
The lack of awareness can have dire consequences as the darkness of the night holds unseen dangers that can inflict harm upon you.

When you go to bed at night don't forget to sleep tight
Before going to sleep, it is crucial to ensure everything is secure, even though the disturbance you hear in the wall is not caused by a mere mouse.

Even though the scurry in your wall isn't a mouse
Although the unsettling sounds coming from the wall are not the result of a small rodent scurrying, they persist, evoking a chilling presence.

You don't think that ghosts exist, that can't be reality
Skeptical of the existence of ghosts, you deem it improbable, refusing to accept the reality that such supernatural beings could be present.

But the spirits that float in the air, they seem to disagree
However, the ethereal spirits that linger in the environment contradict your disbelief, manifesting their presence in subtle ways, defying logic.

Gus isn't a friendly ghost; he hates everything you fucking do
Gus, one of the malevolent spirits, harbors intense animosity toward every action and decision you make, despising your very existence.

You sound just like his nagging bitch wife, that shot him in '62 (Fuck!)
Your voice and mannerisms resemble those of Gus' nagging, contemptible wife, who infamously shot him in the year 1962, fueling his eternal bitterness.

He drags chains across your floor, rings an old church bell
Gus torments you by dragging heavy chains across the floor, their haunting sound resonating through the house, while also ringing an eerie, ancient church bell.

Your life has become a shitty sitcom from the depths of Hell
Your existence has devolved into a nightmarish parody reminiscent of a dreadful sitcom, originating from the darkest depths of Hell itself.

As your life's months and years leak through creaky cracks
Time passes slowly, as the months and years of your life seep away through the creaking cracks in the decaying structure, emphasizing your entrapment.

You're just waiting for the day you die to forever haunt him back
Counting the days until your inevitable demise, you yearn to eternally haunt Gus in revenge for the torment he has inflicted upon you.

When you go to bed at night don't forget to sleep tight
Before retiring for the night, it is essential to ensure your safety and security, even though you reside in a house plagued by supernatural disturbances.

Even though the scurry in your wall isn't a mouse
Despite the fact that the sounds emerging from within your walls cannot be attributed to innocent animal movements, they persist, intensifying the atmosphere of haunting.

When you go to bed at night don't forget to sleep tight
Even as you prepare for slumber, it is paramount to find solace in a sense of security, despite residing in a dwelling that is subject to supernatural forces.

Even though you're living in a haunted house
Acknowledging the reality of your situation, you come to terms with the fact that you are residing within a home infested with the presence of restless and malevolent spirits.
