lyrics

There she goes again talking to the dead,
She sees so much I can't understand, I wonder if it's all in her head,
This all seems so real to her, but I'm here and my camera too
She always sees those dead guys, but with me she looks right through...
With me she looks right through...

Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
With your pale white skin and your bright red smile
Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
I'm the one you should be talking to, not those dead guys
Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
They can't hold you, they can't love you, but I can, I can...

She's making strange hand gestures, and those weird cute faces
I clean out all the pictures before she goes to all of these places
There's an angry shadow guy she says he died of cancer
I ask her lots of questions but she never seems to answer
She never seems to answer...

Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
With your pale white skin and your bright red smile
Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
I'm the one you should be talking to, not those dead guys
Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
They can't hold you, they can't love you, but I can, I can...

Bridge:
I've got a love, burning bright
Why can't I just tell you how I feel?
Why don't you stay with me tonight
I can show you so much that's real...

Now she's hanging out with Steve, he's got a scary New York accent
He's the kind who'd kill you , and make it look like an accident
Former homicide detective, look at the size of that police ring
I guess I'll go clean the next place, I wish she could hear my heart sing...
hear my heart sing....

Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
With your pale white skin and your bright red smile
Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
I'm the one you should be talking to, not those dead guys
Hey, hey, Dead Files girl
They can't hold you, they can't love you, but I can, I can...
