You ask me to come
To your party on Friday
I want to say yes
But I don't
I've had a bad dream
And I keep thinking about it
Afraid that I won't make it home
Shut myself in my room
Just to keep out of danger
Fall Ill when I need an excuse
You ask if I'm OK
But what do you want me to say?
I'm sorry I missed the big day
Half-jokingly
You look at me
And suggest that we call a priest
To perform
A ritual exorcism
And draw out the devil in me
Filled out a form
In a waiting room
Left out my name
Took the elevator down
It's a haunted house
Look how they stare from the windows
I can see myself up there now
We burn our skin on paper
Pile up around town
You don't know you're asking
The devil to stick around
If I'm just another one
You can't figure out
Who worked up the courage
Just to let herself down
Half-jokingly
You look at me
And suggest that I call a priest
To perform a ritual exorcism
And draw out the devil in me
Draw out the devil in me
