Checkin' Out The Ghosts Lyrics - Kim Carnes

(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
