Ghosties

I walked into the room and was very startled by this sound
It came and went and I follow it with my ear pressed to the ground
When no one was in sight I heard it growing so loud
An animal, untraceable or a ghosty floating proud

But you'll see what I mean when I say time just takes its toll
And you'll see what I mean in 30 years or 40 more
When you're deader than a doornail life is better than before
And you'll see what I mean
A ghosty's knocking on your door

I never thought my life would be all over in a day
But now I have a ghostly friends who's out and wants and play
We had our whole lives, scratch that, we just had eternity
And once I was a human, but now I'm just a ghosty
