Jimmy Buffett Vampires, Mummies and the Holy Ghost lyrics

Oh rock and roll is a scary business no hit records
No MTV videos, you'll never make it here, scary
Not, let's do it coral reefers

Looked in my laptop, what did I see?
A flashin' message said, "Today: Therapy"
Rather walk through fire than converse with my shrink
But I'm getting better that's what some people think

Talk about denial and dysfunctional things
Head's like a bell some days it dongs and it dings
Me brain's playin' tricks on me it likes to shift gears
Spend lots of money, but I'm tacklin' my fears

Now vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are the things that terrify me the most
No aliens, psychopaths or MTV hosts scare me
Like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost

Had a dream last night took a time travellin' ride
Back to my childhood where those monsters reside
They snack on innocence and dine on self-esteem
But I like to be in touch with what makes me scream

Vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are the things that terrify me the most
No alien, psychopath or MTV host scares me
Like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost


I was never ever frightened
By the murderer on our block
He nurtured orchids and raised hamsters
The neighborhood is still in shock

So many dragons lurking out in the fog
So many crazy people mumblin' monologues
It's not the tales of Stephen King that I've read
I need protection from the things in my head

Like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are the things that terrify me the most
No alien, psychopath or MTV host scares me
Like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost

Vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost
These are the things that terrify me the most
No alien, psychopath or MTV host scares me
Like vampires, mummies and the Holy Ghost

Oh you're so scary
It's scary out here
In the world of rock and roll

Scared you didn't I?
