There’s a tap in the wall at noon
Three knocks in a minor tune
My teacup spins, then sits still
Like it heard a secret thrill
A coat on the chair leans left
Then bows to the empty room
I smile at the house ghosting by
And say, “Darling, do it soon”
Something winked from the mirror frame
Something knew me by my name
I’m not scared, I’m very impressed
With the mess in the room, obsessed
Strange and unusual
(Strange and unusual)
Weird and wonderful
(Weird and wonderful)
If the moon leaves clues
(Strange and unusual)
Laughing at the possible
(Laughing at the possible)
If the veil gets thin
A little hum under my bed
Like a fox with a silver throat
Then a feather falls from the air
And lands on my polka-dot coat
I asked the lamp, “You seen a ghost?”
It flickered once, then winked twice
The cat turned pale, the dog went still
And the hallway grew strange and nice
Something moved where the shadow rests
Something cold touched my wrist
If the world has an extra door
Strange and unusual
(Strange and unusual)
Weird and wonderful
(Weird and wonderful)
If the moon leaves clues
(Strange and unusual)
Laughing at the possible
(Laughing at the possible)
If the veil gets thin
Maybe it’s a whisper, maybe it’s a joke
Maybe it’s the kind of truth we cloak
Telepathy in a teacup ring
A moth that thinks it’s a king
I don’t need proof to dance this way
I know what I know when the curtains sway
Call it folklore, call it fate
I’m already inside the gate
Strange and unusual
(Strange and unusual)
Weird and wonderful
(Weird and wonderful)
If the moon leaves clues
(Strange and unusual)
Laughing at the possible
(Laughing at the possible)
If the veil gets thin
(Weird and wonderful)
(Strange and unusual)
