[Verse 1] Me and my raccoon Slip through the back gate We don't need the light We know every shade We live on the dark side In a boarded-up dream Dust on the banister Cold in the seams [Pre-Chorus] Ghosts in the house Bones in the hall Something laughs softly Behind every wall [Chorus] Dark side, dark side We know the dark side (we know the dark side) Dark side, dark side We live where the night hides Haunted house, haunted house Old bones in the closet (clattering bones) Haunted house, haunted house We keep it and we love it [Verse 2] My raccoon friend grins Under his mask Rattles the shelves Then makes me laugh Moth-eaten curtains Dragging the floor We hear the floorboards Ask for more [Pre-Chorus] Loose old latch Faint little groan If the dead are home They can leave us alone [Chorus] Dark side, dark side We know the dark side (we know the dark side) Dark side, dark side We live where the night hides Haunted house, haunted house Old bones in the closet (clattering bones) Haunted house, haunted house We keep it and we love it [Bridge] Let the brave ones run Let them hold their light We got a better plan In the velvet night If the walls shake loose If the mirrors call Me and my raccoon Laugh through it all [Final Chorus] Dark side, dark side We know the dark side (we know the dark side) Dark side, dark side We live where the night hides Haunted house, haunted house Old bones in the closet (clattering bones) Haunted house, haunted house We keep it and we love it
