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 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 ok, do what you wanna do Then she took me to 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
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
