You unlock this door with an imagination key. 

Another dimension lies just beyond .. a dimension of sound, sight and mind.

You’re entering into a land of shadow & substance, of things & ideas.

You’ve just crossed over into:

Things That Go Bump In The Night

 

 

1^st verse

well someday when i’m sitting there

in my proverbial rocking chair

thinking about the strange things that i’ve seen

many things will come to mind

with explanations undefined

so many experiences i don’t know what they mean

 

hook

so i’m never going back

to the la concha hotel

echo:  (la concha hotel)

no i never want to relive

that haunting spell

echo:  (haunting spell)

so i’m never going back

to the la concha hotel

echo:  (la concha hotel)

no i don’t ever want to be

that close to hell

echo:  (that close to hell)

 

2^nd verse

as the years pass on by

and i begin to wonder why

apparitions emerge occasionally

encounters seem destined to appear

to mortals who know the fear

and i know i’m one allegorically

 

repeat hook

 

3^rd verse

on new year’s eve in 1983

a hotel busboy cleaning up debris

fell to his death when a conveyor missed his floor

a few weeks later i was there

in a face to face, eye to eye stare

something that i’ll never be able to account for

 

 repeat hook

 

4^th verse

these things seem to happen in key west

as a matter of fact it’s my 2^nd test

i even made love to girl who’d been dead 8 years

she took me down to the spanish mission

you can read about it in my 11^th edition   ** see addendum below **

that island can really fuel your ghostly fears

 

5^th verse  -  repeat 1^st verse

 

 repeat hook   (3x – out)

Incident at a Key West hotel.

A man named Larry goes seeking a holiday journey but the journey that he stumbles upon is one that he did not expect.

The lesson learned is one as old as the ages.

When you expire, you have no real connection to immortality.

Larry has learned this by entering:

Things That Go Bump In The Night

key west episode
 

          one
 

i’ve been home a week now

but that voice is still haunting me

i was at the end of the earth

in my pop’s g.m.c.

no one knows what i’m thinking

cause i haven’t let it go too far

i told them i went down south

but i was visiting another star

i was in so deep in paradise

but she promised to get me back to my place

my body was in her soul that night

but her soul was in outer space
 

          chorus
 

and she said larry

let’s go the spanish mission

there will be a place for us there

baby

let’s walk up to the spanish mission

you will find yourself

if you can stand the scare

background:  (you will find yourself, if you can stand the scare)
 

          two
 

so she reached out and grabbed me

although both of her hands were free

her smiling face and buttered tan

was just what i wanted to see

i had met her just two hours before

but i felt like i knew her ten years

she told me everything she could

and i listened patiently for five beers

i was in so deep in paradise

but she brought me back into her eyes

she had plenty of words to make me laugh

and a few to make me cry

 

          (repeat)  chorus
 

          three
 

and so up the steps of old

and through a huge nautical front door

we passed through the vestibule

and scampered down a corridor

she knew just where to take me

and i never questioned her word

later, although no one was around

there was something i though i had heard

my eyes were filled with emptiness

but still it didn’t seem right

and when i turned back around

she had vanished in the night

i was in so deep in paradise

but she promised not to leave me alone

although without her beside me

i was like a dog without his bone

 

           (repeat)  chorus
 

          four
 

i assumed she was only playing a game

so i put my trousers back on

i looked til fear engulfed me

but decided she must have gone

then on my way out onto the lawn

a man was standing there

he said son, please don’t ever tell anyone

you and my daughter were in there

a man who looked like you

took her in there in 1969

somebody slipped in and killed them both

but she comes back from time to time

i was in so deep in paradise

but she promised to get me back to my place

my body was in her soul that night

but her soul was in outer space
 

          (repeat)  chorus  ...  2X    -out-
