Ghosts Lyrics

There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know it's bless the tune
Because now it's onto me

Don't understand it
Don't understand it

There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one seem there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open
Where a restless soul is spoken

Don't understand it
Don't understand it

(Got a ghost
Got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul
Got a break in the halls
Got to see it
Want to)

And who gave you the right to scheme my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shame my fablic tree?

You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy

There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But nobody's seem there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coffin inlay open
Where a restless soul is going

Don't understand it
Don't understand it

(Got a ghost
Got a break in the walls
Got a ghoul
Got a break in the halls
Got to see it
Want to)

And who gave you the right to scheme my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shame my fablic tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion?
To see me!
And who gave you the right to shame my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shame my fablic trees?

You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
A suckin' ghost of jealousy

And who gave you the right to scheme my family?
And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shame my fablic tree?
And who gave you the right to take, intrusion?
To see me!
And who gave you the right to hurt my family?
And who gave you the right to hurt my baby?
She needs me!
And who gave you the right to shame my fablic tree?

You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy
The ghost of jealousy

Come on!
But it's dynamite
A peace of mine
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Michael Jackson

He wasn't trying to make another Thriller, he was trying to make something completely original

Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Michael Jackson

I think this song mentions about the types of ghosts among the human beings .. like the ghost of jealousy!

The beat of this song is so sick. :)

Uh, what the fuck.

This song, and the movie-thing, Ghosts, is completely symbolic. I love it.

Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Michael Jackson

I haven't watched the short film/video but parts on youtube and was surprised to find it amusing and fun. The ghost and ghouls represent the unrelenting elements that try to disturb our peace much like what MJ was going through. Somebody said that he somewhat deserved it, maybe, but I don't agree to how low they have gotten to it Michael presents a funny way of dealing with it and thinly suggest, you scare me or are you scared because of your jealousy. I think it shows a lot of sense of humor on his part.

am i the only one who realises the lyrics to this song are completely wrong?

@inverse_paradise I’m like, really late, but the lyrics are right ????

Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Michael Jackson

are you sure the last lyrics in the first verse isn't "because now it's haunting me"? just wondering...

Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Michael Jackson

I always kinda thought this song was about what Bahir put Michael through in that interview/documentary thingy he did with him...I have no real basis for this, but that's just how I interpretted it.

Also I think the lyrics posted here are wrong

The Documentary Living With Michael Jackson From Martin Bashir was 2004

that song is from 1997

Not Valid
Cover art for Ghosts lyrics by Michael Jackson

These lyrics are wrong.

I think these are the correct lyrics:

There's a ghost down in the hall There's a ghoul upon the bed There's something in the walls There's blood up on the stairs And it's floating through the room And there's nothing I can see And I know it's bless the tune Because now it's haunting me

Don't understand it Don't understand it

There's a thumpin' in the floor There's a creak behind the door There's a rocking in the chair But there's no-one seem there There's a ghostly smell around But nobody to be found And a coffin inlay open Where a restless soul is pokin'

Don't understand it Don't understand it

(Got a ghost Got a break in the walls Got a ghoul Got a break in the halls Got to see it Want to)

And who gave you the right to scare my family? And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me! And who gave you the right to shake my fablic tree?

They put a knife in my back Shot an arrow in me Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy The ghost of jealousy

There's a thumpin' in the floor There's a creak behind the door There's a rocking in the chair But nobody's seem there There's a ghostly smell around But nobody to be found And a coffin inlay open Where a restless soul is going

Don't understand it Don't understand it

(Got a ghost Got a break in the walls Got a ghoul Got a break in the halls Got to see it Want to)

And who gave you the right to scheme my family? And who gave you the right to shame my baby? She needs me! And who gave you the right to shake my fablic tree? And who gave you the right to take, intrusion? To see me! And who gave you the right to shame my family? And who gave you the right to hurt my baby? She needs me! And who gave you the right to shake my fablic trees?

You put a knife in my back Shot an arrow in me Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy A suckin' ghost of jealousy

And who gave you the right to shake my fablic tree?

You put a knife in my back Shot an arrow in me Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy The ghost of jealousy

Come on! But it's dynamite A peace of mine Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy

yeah these should be the correct lyrics. i especially when you listen to the background and it says (Got a ghost Got a break in the walls Got a ghoul Got a break in the halls Got to see it Want to)
