Welcome to Mac’s And his Pub the Black Cat It’s just a local haunt who Everybody knows where it's at! If you want some fun Then listen to me son This place is a trip Just don't be the one! CHECK THIS OUT! [Verse 1 ] Three years dead, but she owns the room Miss Mischief wears midnight like perfume She loves a loudmouth with his collar up high Who swears he's fearless when the sparks start to fly A pint floats past him slidin cross the bar Then he start lookin toward his locked up car She spins his stool while his buddies all stare He screams at the wind and the empty chair Mac's got a chalkboard behind the taps One stroke for the swagger that finally snaps He rings the bell when they tear out the door Then picks up the tab for the whole damn floor The deal's pretty simple: she scares 'em away Mac buys the next round, so the locals don't pay She sends 'em out running, white as a sheet And the Black Cat goes wild to the slap of the beat [Pre-Chorus] One more chalk line, one more cheer Mac rings the bell, the drinks appear Fists in the air, let the whole room roar When the door swings shut, we all want more! [Chorus ] GHOSTED AGAIN! (HEY! HEY!) Big bad swagger got swept away! GHOSTED AGAIN! (OH! NO!) One sly wink and he's got nothin to SAY! GHOSTED AGAIN! ONE MORE LINE! GHOSTED AGAIN! ONE MORE TIME! Mac rings the bell; let the whole house SING: GHOSTED AGAIN! (LET THE RAFTERS RING!) [Verse 2] At quarter to one, in came the new guy Black boots, white shirt, not a worry in his eyes Mac caught his face and he swallowed a grin She picked out her mark as he settled in She spun his barstool; he spun it right back Sent the eight ball rolling straight down the rack She whispered his name through the old PA He nodded along like he wanted to play She iced up his glass till the rim turned white He held it toward her in the flickering light She sent every bottle flying off of the shelf He caught one and poured out a shot for himself She tried every trick that had cleared out the room He danced with her shadow to the bassline boom The regulars hushed as she leaned toward his chin Mac bit down hard on a knowing grin [Pre-Chorus ] She sends him a shiver; he asks her for more She's losing her cool as he takes to the floor She won't take her eyes off that dangerous grin And Mac holds the bell with a smile tucked in [Chorus] GHOSTED AGAIN! (HEY! HEY!) Big bad swagger got swept away! GHOSTED AGAIN! (OH! NO!) One sly wink and he's got nothin to SAY! GHOSTED AGAIN! ONE MORE LINE! GHOSTED AGAIN! ONE MORE TIME! Mac rings the bell; let the whole house SING: GHOSTED AGAIN! (LET THE RAFTERS RING!) BLACK CAT! (ALL NIGHT!) BACK BAR! (LOW LIGHT!) HE WON'T RUN! (NOT YET!) MAC'S GOT CHALK PLACE YOUR BET! [Bridge | Half-time funk-rock, building] She rattled the rafters; he started to sway She sent him a storm; he just danced it away She'd never met someone who wanted her near Who laughed at her lightning and drank down his beer Her tricks lost their edge, and her grin lost its bite She wanted his arms more than winning tonight Mac glanced at the clock with a secretive smile Then polished the counter and waited a while [Reveal] Last call rang out, and the jukebox fell still She moved in for a kiss with a dangerous thrill Mac reached for the switch; the whole room flashed white Her handsome new mark disappeared in the light She grabbed for his sleeve, but her hand found thin air Not a boot, not a footprint, no boy standing there Mac drew one white line underneath her own name The whole Black Cat roared now SHE'D lost the game! [Final Chorus ] GHOSTED AGAIN! (HEY! HEY!) Miss Mischief's grin just got swept away! GHOSTED AGAIN! (OH! NO!) Her brand-new crush left her wanting to PLAY! GHOSTED AGAIN! ONE MORE LINE! GHOSTED AGAIN! ONE MORE TIME! Mac rings that bell and the whole house sings GHOSTED AGAIN! GHOSTED AGAIN! Another one down This ain't the end! GHOSTED AGAIN!
