Nervous Young Men
Boxing Day
[Verse 1]
The early bird catches the worm
I have worms in mousetraps, baby
I did something bad
I’m not allowed to go outside anymore

I can only be awake at night
For the next year of my life
In the freshly dug earth
In front of the cabin

[Refrain]
I feel so haunted
I feel so haunted

[Verse 2]
Seeing the world in petals, everything made of roses
I know cause when I close my eyes I see red spots
Seeing the world in petals, everything made of roses
I know cause when I close my eyes I can see red spots

[Refrain]
I feel so haunted
I feel so haunted
I feel so haunted
I feel so haunted
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Is there some rule that guys can never talk about anything?
They just watch the girls go by
(How are you tonight?)
Just look straight ahead
(Are you still in school?)

Promise me you’ll go inside when I leave
I don’t want you hanging around
Please don’t fight, please don’t argue
I’m just looking out for you

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
There’s a crack in my window
All the peeping toms come and peep
Whenever I’m in the n***
They all line up down the streets

No one seems to notice
No one seems to care
It doesn’t really matter
I’ll just put on my underwear
[Refrain]
I’m getting haunted
I’m getting haunted
Getting haunted
Getting haunted

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge 2]
Now we are finally free
From all pain and fear
Now that our spirits have left our bodies
Close your eyes
Everyone we know is dead
It's okay to feel nothing at all

Promise me you’ll go inside when I leave
I don’t want you hanging around
Please don’t fight, please don’t argue
I’m just looking out for you

[Instrumental Break]

[Refrain]
Haunted
I feel so haunted
Haunted
I feel so haunted
(All together now)
Haunted
I feel so haunted
Haunted
I feel so haunted
I feel so haunted
I feel so haunted

[Outro]
The early bird catches the worm
And I have worms in fishhooks
And mouses in mousetraps
And cats in cat-traps
And dogs in dog-traps
And we have seen the enemy, and it is fear itself
And we have seen the enemy, and it is fear itself
