about

“I like to be haunted” is a groove. A deceptively simple musical figure that needs a tightly would band to play their parts just right. You couldn’t do it on an acoustic guitar. The lyric is expansive. Dave Graney is talking about presence. His own and that of others.

lyrics

I like to be haunted - I like to be alone
I know I don't give much - I don't give much away
I don't put out no signs or directions
I like to be haunted
I like the vibe –
I like to be haunted -
shadowed and hidden - moving away
some people like to be upfront – outdoors - talkin to everybody-hey!
some people like to be away and never settling down
I like my place but I like to be so far far away inside it
I like to be next door - watching you knock yourself out at my door
some people like to keep smilin some people like to get happy
put on a brave face despite it all - some people like to make show, above all, to cope
I like to be haunted
some like to be loved -some like to be chased -some like a crowd –
some like to do all the lovin' - some like to do all the chasin'
I like to be haunted
some like to be jolly - some like to be gay - some e like to be heavy
some like to be stoned - some like to be unconscious - some like to be old
some like to be new - some like to be sick
I like to be haunted
some can't do anything they like - they gave up long ago
some people are wasted…jaded….damaged…over it…past it……through caring
I like to be haunted
some want the soft sell - they like a nice toon
they want a happy ending - they want to know whats going on
they want to know the score - they want closure
I like to be haunted
some people need to be striong armed - led to the water hole –
some people need direction - they need to be dressed - they need to be drunk
they like to be seduced - they like to be schmoozed - they like to be crowded
some like a winter in the big western scrub lookin after the wheat bins alone
I like to be haunted
some like to be ordered - some like to be considered - there ain't enough glory
I like to be haunted
a world of possibilities - so many doors, escalators, elevators,destinations, arrivals
then this quiet cul de sac - the blue sky and the solitary fly
I like to be haunted
it’s a scam I know
I like to be haunted
today I came from out of the sky
I do not give a flying fuck - for keepin my hands dirty
I grew up in the mud - my mind is still under the ground
it’s the way I hear them
I like to be haunted
