Lyrics[]

 Spectra 

My name is Spectra, I'm a poltergeist
I'm floating down the halls of Monster High
Sometimes I like to disappear
Won't see me, but I'll still be near
Don't get it twisted, I'm not a ghost
Here are some things I like doing most

Scaring all my friends to hear them scream
I love texting all of my beasties
I'm a spooky source, a haunting force
Oh yeah, that's me

Now you see me, now you don't
[harmonizing]
Play hide and shriek, it's in my bones
[harmonizing]
Gotta unlive up to my name
I'm getting out of my own way
You can't break my spirit
No, no, no, no, no
Now you see me, now you don't

An only child, just my Ghoulma and me
I look up to her
Closer than close,
She's more than family
From Hauntlywood
But not the glitzy side
Un-living up to the legacy of Vondergeists

Now it's my time to flaunt my haunt
I love to practice on the ghouls at Monster High
Scaring all my friends to hear them scream
Oh, yeah, that's me

Now you see me, now you don't
[harmonizing]
Play hide and shriek, it's in my bones
[harmonizing]
Gotta unlive up to my name
I'm getting out of my own way
You can't break my spirit
No, no, no, no, no
Now you see me, now you don't

(Boo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo)
Now you see me
(Boo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo)
Now you don't
(Boo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo)
Now you see me
(Boo-oo-oo-oo, oo-oo-oo)
Now you don't

You can't catch me
I'm intangible
One moment I'm in a gramophone
The next I'm in your radio
It's irresistible turning invisible
(Oh, oh, oh)

Now you see me, now you don't
[harmonizing]
Play hide and shriek, it's in my bones
Gotta unlive up to my name
I'm getting out of my own way
You can't break my spirit
No, no, no, no, no
Now you see me, now you don't
