lyrics

There's a broken wing
and a laughing wind and a werewolf wearing comfortable claws
Someone has broken all these candle sticks
Will you answer me by Ouija board?

There's a silent voice
And a ringing bell and a banshee washing designer shrouds
Something has broken all these incense sticks
Will you answer me by Ouija board?

Chorus:
Well I never and you didn't
Well I never and they should've
Well I never and we might have
Does this Ouija board have unlimited text and talk?

There's burning breeze
And a talking board and a revenant chanting 1000 psalms
Sometimes you just have to cry along
Will you answer me by Ouija board?

Chorus:

A planchette with spell check
and we'll never have to say it twice
A planchette with auto-correct
and they'll have to read it thrice
this planchette brings me regret
this planchette won’t let me forget anything at all

Chorus Twice (or more) text and talk?
