There's a house on Shady Lane By the old cemetary where the dead remain This place is haunted, so they say With my two friends and a flashlight We waited till midnight Till we couldn't wait no more We opened up that door Did you hear that sound? Did you hear that sound Calling from the underground? I think somebody's down there We should go right now We should leave right now I don't think we're welcome here And that's when she appeared, oh-oh-oh! I'm scared of this old house When the lights go out All the ghosts come out at night And they dance in the shadows of the moonlight Don't open that cellar door You've heard that one before What goes in don't come out And that's why I'm so scared of this old house We tried to run but the door was locked Our hearts beat louder than the cuckoo clock 12:05, this old house came alive Down at the end of the hallway Past the cobwebs and bloodstains In the beam of our flashlight Was the lady dressed in white She didn't make a sound She just stared us down Floating in her wedding gown Like she died right at the altar Shivers down my spine Have we lost our minds? Let's just slowly back away
And after us she came, oh-oh-oh! I'm scared of this old house When the lights go out All the ghosts come out at night And they dance in the shadows of the moonlight Don't open that cellar door You've heard that one before What goes in don't come out And that's why I'm so scared of this old house Shady Lane, Shady Lane Everybody stay away If you wanna stay alive Don't go in that house at night Shady Lane, Shady Lane Everybody stay away If you wanna stay alive Don't go in that house at night We all ran our separate ways Down winding halls and secret pa**ageways I hid downstairs, I thought I could escape (I heard those footsteps...) I heard those footsteps behind me Lord don't let her find me (...find me...) Around my neck I felt her hands I never even had a chance My body hit the ground And I never made it out, oh-oh-oh! I'm scared of this old house Everyone keep out Beware the lady in white Who walks these halls at midnight Don't open that cellar door She'll haunt you evermore What goes in don't come out And now I'm just a ghost in this old house Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh! Oh-oh-oh! She still haunts me She's always haunted me
