lyrics

UP IN THE LOFT
Music & Lyrics: Heather Alexander

Up the backless staircase,
To the dark ahead-
This is the loft of my place,
With memories long dead-
Ah, but yesterday I heard it,
With its haunting mournful cry-
I don't know how to word it,
But I'll look it in the eye!

SOMETHING'S UP IN THE LOFT!
BETTER SHAKE IT DOWN!
COBWEB TRIM ON A CORSETED GOWN!
MIRRORS REFLECTING AN ALIEN FACE!
DAGGERS DISSECTING AND LEAVING NO TRACE!
SOMETHING'S UP IN THE LOFT!

A brown and binded ledger,
With a spider squished inside-
I trimmed with the edger,
But the stain I couldn't hide-
I glanced upon its pages,
My heart had filled with dread-
"Thou art doomed throughout the ages!"
Was all the damned words said!

Shadows dancing on the wall!
Footsteps sounding down the hall!
The candle is short but the flame burns tall!
Something's up in the loft!

I dusted off the steamer trunk,
I broke the frozen latch-
I opened to some slimy gunk,
With an egg about to hatch!
The room filled with a thin glow,
The egg began to sway-
So I threw it out the window,
And watched it fly away!

There's no game in the mind
When the players are blind!
Something's up in the loft!
