Lyrics

GHOST

Sometimes I think I have a jones for losing
I didn’t know it could extend to you
Oh-oh-oh, yeah, so I’ve a history of using
I like to fly ‘cos when I land, I’m blue

I can’t see straight for crying
Don’t know where it hurts most
Every day, I wake up dying
I’m a ghost, I’m a ghost, I’m a ghost

Candle on the table never had a wick
Why don’t you light the propane? you said
I’d’ve turned the world over if you'd wanted it
But now you’ve gone, I can’t get out of bed

I can’t see straight for crying
Don’t know where it hurts most
Every day, I wake up dying
I’m a ghost, I’m a ghost, I’m a ghost

Oh, I'm on the ropes
My eyes are closed
Ain't nothing left to see
Why did you shake me free
Oh, why'd ya, why'd ya shake me free

Skin is mute until it starts bleeding
Bathroom’s too white and the lights look like teeth
I’m colder than the walls from needling
Through to all that lies underneath
