lyrics

The teacher reads his books at night
To ease his worried mind
There’s something going on up there
There’s something here inside
Cause he knows the sounds of his house
And every noise that it makes
An invitation is what they need
An invitation he gave

Quietly up the stairs, avoiding certain treads
Quietly to the door, a hand up to his chest…Oh my God

The teacher makes the sign of the cross
Falling back on the wall
The deathly guest upon him now
Floating cross the floor
I revoke now all that I gave
I offer you no more
I will see you sleep with the dead
Teacher that’s for sure

Teacher, sleep with the dead…
