lyrics

I don't think houses get haunted no more,
'cause everyone rents.
It seems to me owning the thing is prerequisite
for a dead occupant
to take effect.

But why would you want to?
What would possess you
to possess what you possessed?

(Grandfather said he left Baltimore
to see a haunted house
Where it was said
"the strangest scenes were enacted."
Bedclothes cut to shreds
Geese without their heads
Laundry on the laundry block
by invisible powers chopped, I heard.)

I heard this thing on the radio,
interview with a priest,
said that the bishop had made him an exorcist
dealing with
four or five calls a week.

But why would you call him?
What would possess you
in the scientific age?

(The residents called ministers
to pray for the soul
of the previous owner of the property
but to no avail.
Until a Catholic priest,
a Purgatory priest,
got down on his knees and cried
my friend, my darling guy,
what keeps you here?)
