Swing It Wrong (After Midnight Mix)(Spooky Song Contest)

[Intro.] [Verse 1] You said left, I heard right. Killed the lamp, it stayed alight. Locked the door, then lost the key. Something in the hallway sounds a lot like me. [Chorus] Swing it wrong, swing it right, something's moving just outside the light. Swing it low, swing it high, don't look back and don't ask why. Again. Again. Hear the needle spin. Again. Again. Something wants back in. [Verse 2] Counted four, footsteps five. Checked the room, no one alive. Dropped the line, forgot the tune. Someone started humming it from the other room. [Chorus] Swing it wrong, swing it right, something's moving just outside the light. Swing it low, swing it high, don't look back and don't ask why. Again. Again. Hear the needle spin. Again. Again. Something wants back in. [Verse 3] Mirror moved. I stayed still. Shadow crossed the windowsill. Turned around. Nothing there. [Pause] Then somebody behind me said, "Nice waistcoat." [Bridge] IF IT KNOCKS... DON'T LET IT IN! IF IT STOPS... DON'T LET IT BEGIN! Let it stumble. Let it crawl. THEN SWING THE BLOODY THING STRAIGHT THROUGH THE WALL! [Final Chorus] Swing it wrong, swing it right, now it's dancing with us in the light. Swing it low, swing it high, we stopped asking how or why. Again! Again! Hear the whole room spin. Again! Again! ...don't let it in. Too late. [Hard stop] Lyrics copyright 9/2026 Steve Jarvis All rights reserved
