Mostly correct, but I think this is closer:

If I stay then I'd need for a reason Children(?) ghosts, coming close in the rain I'm a barrel, I'm a barrel of batteries I'm a barrel, I'm a barrel of batteries

With ice on the floor She wants to learn more 'bout sleeping alone in the new world war 'bout sleeping alone in the new world war
