The Lyrics
The first time it was snowing
And I hoped it was just wind
Howling on the premises and it would go away
When the storm disappeared
But although the skies have cleared
I'm hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
I can take comfort they're not banshees
Since that could mean a one way trip to the morgue
But aargh! I ain't had any sleep since they have come
While I know who to call
Their phone number is not listed at all
Hearing ghosts again in my home
I would rather listen to a Vogon poem
And I wish that they would go and bother Rome
Or any other place
Not located by my face
So I spent some time with Doc Popescu
He said I had anxiety
And prescribed me Xanax as well as Thorazine
I'll just take the first kind
I know I'm not really out of my mind
Hearing ghosts again, come for proof
It's more scary than Disturbia with Labeouf
Like the Drifters they have been up on the roof
And beneath every floor
I'm not crazy, yes I'm sure
I'm hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing gho-oh-oh-oh-sts
I've been asking my friends
If I can move in with them
Hearing ghosts again in my car
Every time the spirits moan, I'm thinking GWAR
Thought they'd give up and they'd leave if I went far
But I ran out of gas
No banks nearby, and I used up all my cash
Seems the ghosts are gone from my head
It's because of all the pills I have been fed
It's expensive, I will owe them 'til I'm dead
And the side effects hurt
I long to be in jeans and a T-shirt
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts
Hearing ghosts again
And I hoped it was just wind
Howling on the premises and it would go away
When the storm disappeared
But although the skies have cleared
I'm hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
I can take comfort they're not banshees
Since that could mean a one way trip to the morgue
But aargh! I ain't had any sleep since they have come
While I know who to call
Their phone number is not listed at all
Hearing ghosts again in my home
I would rather listen to a Vogon poem
And I wish that they would go and bother Rome
Or any other place
Not located by my face
So I spent some time with Doc Popescu
He said I had anxiety
And prescribed me Xanax as well as Thorazine
I'll just take the first kind
I know I'm not really out of my mind
Hearing ghosts again, come for proof
It's more scary than Disturbia with Labeouf
Like the Drifters they have been up on the roof
And beneath every floor
I'm not crazy, yes I'm sure
I'm hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing gho-oh-oh-oh-sts
I've been asking my friends
If I can move in with them
Hearing ghosts again in my car
Every time the spirits moan, I'm thinking GWAR
Thought they'd give up and they'd leave if I went far
But I ran out of gas
No banks nearby, and I used up all my cash
Seems the ghosts are gone from my head
It's because of all the pills I have been fed
It's expensive, I will owe them 'til I'm dead
And the side effects hurt
I long to be in jeans and a T-shirt
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts again
Hearing ghosts
Hearing ghosts again

Call the Ghostbusters - and take 555 Marshmallows.
LOVED IT!A 5S
It's a gift and a curse
This was so good it's scary!
(Artistry) Some of your funniest lines might not be familiar enough to others, esp. the "Vogon poem". Your references to banshees was pretty cool--I actually looked it up, and indeed they are mythologized as harbingers of death. But whose unlisted phone number did you need?
Aggy: The Ghostbusters.
Matty: But in the movie, their phone number was clearly posted in the TV ad, so that's where my confusion lay.
Aggy: I see.... Good point. In that case I have no idea.
(Artistry) Love the whole "the cure is worse than the condition" concept.
(Artistry) Some of the lines seemed a bit out of place, but this was pretty good. Really fits with the eeriness of the beginning of the OS. Well done.
Sir, loved the ref to " the Drifters being up on the Roof " ! I hope you head is feeling better, Sir.
(Artistry) My only problem with this one was 'polish', there were a few lines--particularly in the first stanza--that had some words left in that looked like they were not intended to be there, enough for me to notice. Your rhyme scheme was really really good, and the pacing was close to perfect--no killer lines persay, but good nonetheless
(Artistry) A hauntingly good parody Ethan. What is GWAR, btw?
