Lyrics

Casper

[Verse 1]

Hunting a demon I seen

Fishing out hoof hair behind a screen

Hunted by a dusty cipher

Magnetism, my lone rifle

And the sicko police

Gave me perfect marks at the sycophantic academy

Pay to pray, I still got plasma coming through

[Chorus]

Bang and bang and shoot

What they trained me to do

Windows sweating blood

Choking in on cue

Bang and bang and shoot

How I wanted you like a ghost wants revenge on the living

[Verse 2]

This is how the pros do it, right?

Wedding chapel exorcism under a dim lamp light

Kids keep trading specter stories

Just to get each other horny

Inside their marrow, intense

Hiding from the witch I’m stalking through the dark forest

Pay to pray, I still got plasma coming through

[Chorus]

Bang and bang and shoot

What they trained me to do

Windows sweating blood

Choking in on cue

Bang and bang and shoot

How I wanted you like a ghost wants revenge on the living
