I was walkin' real fast,
I was too scared to run
Past this lonesome graveyard
Where the highway meets the sun
Well that old graveyard's
Been around since the civil war
I had a funny feelin'
that I'd been here before
I heard a voice, it was talkin' real slow
She said it's time to make a choice,
Is it yes or is it no
I said O.K, do what you wanna do
Then she took me to a world,
A world I never knew.
Where we danced so close,
We were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done
We were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz,
Graveyard waltz
Next thing I knew the first dance was done
But this magic carpet ride had just begun
Heaven only knows
where she learned to drive
Between the tombstones
and the ones still left alive
And then that old soul band began to play
In triple time, she was begging me to stay
And when the masquerade
had started up again
She said this is the night that never ends
Where we danced so close,
we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done
we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz
Graveyard waltz
Where we danced so close,
we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done
we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz
Where we danced so close,
we were teenage ghosts
We were doin' that graveyard waltz
After all is said and done
we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz
doin' that graveyard waltz
we were just too young
To be doin' that graveyard waltz
Graveyard waltz
I was walkin' real fast,
I was too scared to run
