(Kim Carnes)
The wind blows cold and the river swells
And the new moon`s going wild
And the walls grow thin
It`s the state I`m in
You`ll just have to excuse me tonight
Cause I`m just checkin` out the ghosts
Checkin` out the ghosts
We wake the beast when we stir the fire
We just can`t let it be
After all these years sometimes I still want you near
And it runs bone deep
Cause I`m just checkin` out the ghosts
Seeing if they`re still here
Hiding in the closet
Cause its helly in here
Checkin` out the ghosts
I`m just checkin` out the ghosts
I`m just checkin` out the ghosts
Seeing if they`re still here
Hiding in the closet
Weighing down the air
Just checkin` out the ghosts
Sleeping in my bed
Running down my back
Messing up my head
I`m just checkin` the ghosts
Just checkin` out the ghost
I`m just checkin` out the ghosts
