[Verse 1]
This old house creaks my name
Floorboards talk back slow
Four walls full of last night
And a cold blue TV glow
I found a chair still facing
The glass where my ghost friends go
[Pre-Chorus]
They live in the corners
In the dust on the screen
I see my own face twitchin'
In a channel between
[Chorus]
They know where I've been
They know where I've been
They call me back in
Through the TV screen
They know where I've been
They know where I've been
Old souls still grin
Through the TV screen
[Verse 2]
Mama in the kitchen
With a towel on her hair
Brother on the front steps
Like he never left there
Every time I reach out
Fingers cut through air
[Pre-Chorus]
The set starts shiverin'
Like it heard my prayer
Static turns to voices
And they pull me there
[Chorus]
They know where I've been
They know where I've been
They call me back in
Through the TV screen
They know where I've been
They know where I've been
Old souls still grin
Through the TV screen
[Bridge]
If I stay too long
I might learn their way
Maybe the dead don't leave
They just change the display
One blink, one flash
And the whole room breathes
I'm half in the dark
And half with them on the screen
[Chorus]
They know where I've been
They know where I've been
They call me back in
Through the TV screen
They know where I've been
They know where I've been
Old souls still grin
Through the TV screen
