Micheal Jackson is a Happy Monster

Not really....but I when I hear "Ghost" and "Is it scary" it sounds like him venting about his current status as more of a sideshow act than an entertainer. You hear his justified paranoia, his sadness, his acceptance, and his desire to turn his tragic situation into profit. And if he did write them, the visual allegory is amazing. I don't know if he wrote them or not, but regardless of whoever penned the songs- The emotions mike delivers singing them is almost tear-wrenching and painful. (Or maybe my MJ fan status is showing) What do you guys think?

[b] "Ghosts"
There's a ghost down in the hall
There's a ghoul upon the bed
There's something in the walls
There's blood up on the stairs
And it's floating through the room
And there's nothing I can see
And I know that it's the truth
Because now it's onto me

I don't understand it
Hey
I don't understand it!
Aaow

There's a tappin' in the floor
There's a creak behind the door
There's a rocking in the chair
But there's no-one sitting there
There's a ghostly smell around
But nobody to be found
And a coughin' and a yawnin'
Where a restless soul is going

Don't understand it
Hey!
Don't understand it
Hey.

And who gave you the right to shake my family?
And who gave you the right to shake my baby, she needs me
And who gave you the right to shake my family tree?
You put a knife in my back
Shot an arrow in me!
Tell me are you the ghost of jealousy?



"Is It Scary?"

There's a ghost out in the hall
Theirs a goul beneath the bed
Now it's coming through the walls
Now it's coming down the stairs

Then there's screaming in the dark
Hear the beating of his heart
Can you feel it in the air
Ghosts are hiding everywhere

I'm gonna be
Exactly what you wanna see
It's you whose haunting me
Your wanting me
To be the stranger
In your life

Am I amusing you
Or just confusing you
Am I the beast
You visualised
And if you wanna to see
Eccentrialities
I'll be grotesque
Before your eyes

Let the moment thrill your mind

Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary for you oh
Is it scary for you baby
Is it scary for you

You know the strange one is you
Is it scary for you baby

.....(elapsed time)....

I'm gonna be
Exactly what you wanna see
So did you come to me
To see your fantasies
Performed before your very eyes

A haunting ghostly treat
The foolish trickery
And spirits dancing
In the light

But if you came to see
The truth the purity
It's here inside
A lonely heart

So let the performance start

Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary to you oh
Am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for you
So tell me is it scary for you baby
So tell me is it crazy for you baby
Am I scary for you

You know the stranger is you
Am I scary for ya

Masquerade the heart
Is the height of haunting souls
Just not what you seek of me
Can the heart reveal the proof
Like a mirror reveals the truth
See the evil one is you

Is that scary for you baby
Am I scary for you oh
Am I scary for you baby
Is it scary for you
So tell me am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for ya baby
Is is scary for ya baby
Am I scary for you
(don't wanna talk about it)

Am I scary for you baby
Am I scary for you
I'm tired of being abused
You know you're scaring me too
I see the evil is you
Is it scary for you baby

agreed. And yes, he did write both of them. Not alone, but he´s listed as first amothe the authors, so I guess his contribution was the biggest.
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all."

This is the Michael Jackson I love.

There's more passion in these two songs than anything on Invincible.

And what about Morphine? My God... that song is INTENSE! This is what he should be doing at 46, not shit like "she's got those come-get-me thighs"...
