[Verse 1]
I had a dream when I was twenty-three, stared at the ceiling
My father I had never known went to see the lord and left me
In his will a place right off of 10th Street with side notes
Pointing to the paranormal
And don't forget to feed my long haired dog
Who lives on the side of the house
And now I know why we never visited this place

[Chorus]
Just wanna stay alive
Don't need to see the leaves resting on my grave
I need to keep these weary feet just resting above the ground
Just resting above the ground
Just resting above the ground

[Verse 2]
And momma came and visited the other day and said
"Son, this house had once a history of changing people like
You or me into a ghostly state." Just then a day
A gust of wind went through the windowsill

[Chorus]
Just wanna stay alive
Don't need to see the leaves resting on my grave
I need to keep these weary feet resting above the ground
Just resting above the ground
Just resting above the ground
