about

Ghosts In The Granary (Baer, Roteik) Carley Baer - vocals / Jimm McIver - vocals, guitar / Andrea Wittgens - vocals, keytar / Greg Roteik - guitar / Matt Spatol - bass / Dan O - drums / Vincent Gates - ghost notes

lyrics

They say there’s ghosts in the granary
Givin’ people a fright
Ghosts in the granary
Let’s check it out tonight
Everyone get in the tour bus
McIver, don’t forget the keys
We’re a power-pop band and we solve mysteries

Pull into the parking lot
There’s not a single soul
Piles of dirt everywhere
Like they’ve been digging holes
Spatol threw the bottle at Danimal
Which accidentally opened the door
Wooooohoo, what’re we waiting for?

Look at all the space inside
Kind of smells like someone died
But there’s really no place
For a ghost to hide
That sounds like a mystery

And if you’ve got a problem
We’ll solve it, we’ll solve it
If you’ve got a problem
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
If you’ve got a problem
We’ll solve it, we’ll solve it
If you’ve got a problem
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
Yeah!

Fuck

Gee, it’s really dark in here
And lots of creepy sounds
I think we better split up
So we can cover more ground
A rattle of chains by the barrel of grains
I wonder what it could be
We’re a power-pop band and we’re solving a mystery

Then we heard somebody call
Whoooa
Andrea found the revolving wall
With a secret passageway
That led straight to city hall
What the fuck is that about?

If you’ve got a problem
We’ll solve it, we’ll solve it
If you’ve got a problem
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
If you’ve got a problem
We’ll solve it, we’ll solve it
If you’ve got a problem
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
Fix it with rock ‘n roll

And then a figure dressed in white
Came out of nowhere and gave us a fright
Ghostly howls and flashing lights
What a crazy mystery
He tried to run but we grabbed his sheet
Pulled it off, it was the fire chief!
There we stood in disbelief
‘Cause he was caught red-handed

We had him surrounded
And then we said
“We know what you did.”
He said, “I would have gotten away with it too,
If it wasn’t for you meddlin’ kids.”

Oh, if you’ve got a problem
We’ll solve it, we’ll solve it
If you’ve got a problem
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
And if you’ve got a granary
We’ll save it, when we solve it
If you’ve got a disembodied hand in your bag
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
If you’ve got a problem
We’ll solve it, we’ll solve it
HOTT TTARGET’s on it
We’re gonna fix it with rock ‘n roll
Fix it with rock ‘n roll
Yeah!
