Songwriters: Nelson, Willie;
She always follows me from town to town
At least her memories follow me around
Whenever I clear my mind so she can see
I feel her love come rushing into me
And I know that I will never be alone
It looks as though her memory's bound to haunt
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always following me around
Following me around, following me around
Following me around, following me around
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always following me around
Following me around, following me around
Following me around, following me around
And I know my love will always stay in bounds
With her memory always following me around
With her memory always following me around
[Tupac - speaking]
The only way, for me to come back, is by Makaveli
That's it! All these motherfuckers stole from me
I'm takin back what's mine
[slowed down voice]
[laughing] You motherfuckers can't stop me
Even if I die, I'm gon' be a fuckin problem
Do you believe in ghosts, motherfucker?
Real live black... ghosts
Feel me?
[Verse One: 2Pac]
Some say I'm crazy, these punk-ass cops can't fade me
Mama tried to raise me, but had too many babies
Papa was a motherfuckin, joke
Used to find dope in his coat
And nearly choked when he'd tell me not to smoke
Daaamn, don't get me started
My mama smoked so God damn much
when she was pregnant I'm surprised I ain't retarded
At night I can't sleep, can't peep
As they pass through the glass of my neighbors five deep
Starin at the wall, heard a scream
Wake up in the mornin
See the blood in the hall from the murder scene
Don't cry, just ask why, and try not to die
As I take you through a ghetto nigga's lullabye
On the corner, where the niggaz slang they crack
And the undercovers jack those that don't watch they back
(Five-OH!) I daydream about the dope world
Take a puff from the blunt and watch the smoke swirl
My mausberg goes BOOM, what's another plug
Snatchin drugs, pumpin slugs in these other thugs
(GIVE IT UP NIGGA) Don't run out of breath
Every step could be death 'til you blast
And be the last nigga left, then I'll be ghost
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Don't cry, just ask why, and try not to die
As I take you through a ghetto nigga's lullabye
Don't cry, just ask why, and try not to die
As I take you through a ghetto nigga's lullabye
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
A seven-deuce full of niggaz goes by
Thought I was trippin the second time they rolled, by
Recognized the plates, the faces looked familiar
Everybody swear they know the nigga that's gonna, kill ya
Don't murder me murder me, killa a nigga in his sleep
Let me die as I rest in peace, deep
Back to these niggaz in the seven-deuce
A mac-10 out the window bout to let it loose, what could I do?
Run for cover and return fire
DIE MOTHERFUCKIN DIE, hope yo' ass fry, don't ask why
But I let off everything I have
An empty clip, hit the ground as a nigga dash
On my ass was the motherfuckin cops now
Barely breathin tryin to keep from gettin shot down
BOO-YAOW is the sound, bullet whizzed by
Still runnin like a nigga got nine lives
Don't know why but I'm runnin to my fuckin block
Took a shot, tired of runnin from the niggaz and the cops
Time to be a ghost
(HEY MAN, COME THE FUCK ON!)
And then we'll be ghost
[Chorus]
[Tupac - speaking]
FUCK THE POLICE NIGGA! [laughing]
[Tupac - speaking]
The only way, for me to come back, is by Makaveli
That's it! All these motherfuckers stole from me
I'm takin back what's mine
[slowed down voice]

Even if I die, I'm gon' be a fuckin problem
Do you believe in ghosts, motherfucker?
Real live black... ghosts

[Tupac - speaking]
It used to be so many colors to me
now when I look at you
all I see is clear
and nothing else in this world
mattered to me
just as long as I had you near
I stepped right off the highest mountain
thinking I could walk the sky
tell me and I would believe
but this would be the last time you made me cry
cause I can see nothing but smokescreen, yeah
a ghost, your nothing but a ghost to me
a ghost, and you don't exist no more
nothing but a ghost to me
a ghost and you don't exist no more
see you used to be my dream girl
all you do is hold me go go go
ay ay ay ay
I used to think heaven, when I looked at you
because you were a angel to me
but now all this hell that you took me through
baby you lost your wings
I used to feel like I was on top of the world
With you I would go anywhere
but then I woke up at the bottom of this earth
and saw you both flying there
A ghost, your nothing but a ghost to me
A ghost, and you Don't exist no more
nothing but a ghost to me, A ghost
and you don't exist no more
see you used to be my dream now, all you do is hold me
go go go
ay ay ay, goo
ay ay ay ay Just go (X2)
ay ay ay, goo
you used to love me, now slowly I see you drifting
ever since you broke my heart in two
I don't want to have nothing to do with you
and even though I still love you more
I've gotta walk away from your heart
I've lost my strength cause I can't do this
scratch your name off my list
A ghost, your nothing but a ghost to me
A ghost, and you don't exist no more
nothing but a ghost to me, a ghost
and you don't exist no more (don't exist no more)
see you used to be my dream now, all you do is hold me
go go go (X2)
ay ay ay, goo
[Instrumental]
There's a letter on the desktop that i dug out of a drawer the last truce we ever came to from our adolescent war and i start to feel a fever from the warm air through the screen you come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams and the mississippi's mighty but it starts in Minnesota at a place where you could walk across with five steps down and i guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart but at this point you rush right through me and i start to drown and there's not enough room in this world for my pain signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain of all my demon spirits i need you the most i'm in love with your ghost i'm in love with your ghost dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush (don't tell a soul) when i wake the things i dreamt about you last night make me blush (don't tell a soul) when you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper i go follow to the river play your memory like the piper and i feel it like a sickness how this love
The mind is grey,... like the city
Packing in and overgrown
Love is deep,... dig it out
Standing in a hole alone
Working for something,.. that we can never hold
A place in the clouds.
Your place to hide oh my oh
I'm flying away, away
I'm driving away, away
The TV, she talks to me
Breaking news and building walls
Selling us, what I dont need
Didn't know soap made you taller
So I'm riding away, away
Hiding away, away
So much talk it makes no sense at all
So I'm flying away, away
Driving away, away
Passing old friends I don't miss at all
It doesn't hurt,.. when I bleed
BUt memories they eat me
I've seen it all before,..
Bring it on cause I'm no victim
Dying
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream
I can tell by the mark he left, you were in his dream
Ah child of countless trees
Ah child of boundless seas
What you are, and what you're meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me
Born to me
Cassidy
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac
I can tell by the way you smile, he is rolling back
Come wash the nighttime clean
Come grow the scorched ground green
Blow the horn, and tap the tambourine
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me
Cassidy
Quick beats in an icy heart
Catch colt draws a coffin cart
There he goes and now here she starts
Hear her cry
Flight of the seabirds
Scattered like lost words
Wield to the storm and fly
Fare thee well now
Let your life proceed by it's own design
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Fare thee well now
Let your life proceed by it's own design
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
Fare thee well now
Let your life proceed by it's own design
Nothing to tell now
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine
I'm done with mine
Flight of the seabirds
Scattered like lost words
I feel I never told you
The story of the ghost
That I once knew and talked to
Of whom I'd never boast
For this was my big secret
How I'd get ahead
And never have to worry
I'd call him instead
His answer came in actions
He never spoke a word
Or maybe I laid down the phone
Before he could be heard
I somehow feel forsaken
Like he had closed the door
I guess I just stopped needing him
As much as once before
But maybe he's still with me
The latch was left unhooked
He's waiting in the wind and rain

(Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave some day
(Together) Your hand in my hand
(Together) We will make our plan
(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) We will start like new
(Together) This is what we'll do:
(Go west) Life is peaceful there
(Go west) in the open air
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do
(Together) We will love the beach
(Together) We will learn and teach
(Together) Change our pace of life
(Together) We will work and thrive
(I love you) I know you love me,
(I want you) how could I disagree?
(And that's why) I make no protest
(And you say) you will do the rest
(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) in the open air
(Go west) baby, you and me
(Go west) this is our destiny
(Go west) sun and winter time
(Go west) we will do just fine
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do
There, where the air is free
We'll be (we'll be) what we want to be
Now, if we make a stand
We'll find (we'll find) our promised land!
(I know that) there are many ways
(To live there) in the sun or shade
(Together) we will find the place
(To settle) where there's so much space
(Don't look back) And the place back east
(Wrestling) wrestling just to feast
(And we'll go) ready to be two
(So that's what) we are gonna do
(Oh, what we're gonna do is...)
(Go west) life is peaceful there
(Go west) there, in the open air
(Go west) Where the skies are blue
(Go west) This is what we're gonna do...
(Life is peaceful there) Go west
(In the open air) Go west
(Baby, you and me) Go west
(This is our destiny) Come on, come on, come on, come on
(Go west) Sun and winter time
(Go west) we will feel just fine
(Go west) where the skies are blue
(Go west) this is what we're gonna do
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, go west!)
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?

I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked
One kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise
Now you're running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching for shadows
In the bed where I once slept
I'm the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You'll never be the same
I'm the hole in your heart
I'm the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One thought is all it takes
You lose control
You make mistakes
This pain will never leave
Until I die
You'll always grieve
Now you're falling to pieces
Seeing my face wherever you go
Talking to strangers
I'm on a sentimental journey
Into sight and sound
Of no return and no looking back or down
A consciences objector to the
War that's in my mind
Leaving in the lurch and I'm
Taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
In the destination unknown
An expedition
In the desolation road
Where I'm a...
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
Castaway
I'm riding on the night train and
Driving stolen cars
Testing my nerves out of the blvd.
Spontaneous combustion on the
Corners of my mind
Leaving in the lurch
And I'm taking back what's mine
I'm on a mission
In the destination unknown
An expedition
In the desolation road
Where I'm a...
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Castaway - going at it alone
Castaway - now I'm on my own
Lost and found, trouble bound
That burning sunset in the sky
Is calling out to us tonight
I won't work for my old man
Anymore that you fit into your mammas plan
There's a place for people like you and me
True love's still got room to breathe
And we can drive all night
Into the morning light
Let's go west
It's our ticket out of here
Yeah we can disappear
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Let's go west
It's hard to leave this place behind
Got memories turning in my mind
Little white house with a picket fence
That protected small town innocence
But it seems like an even trade to me
That security for our destiny
Yeah we can drive all night
Till the morning light
Let's go west
A place that we can go
Where the tall dreams grow
Let's go west
And we'll find a place to call our own
There's somewhere out there we belong
Let's go west
And that painted sky was made for us
It's everything we ever dreamed of
Yeah let's go west
Oh let's go west
Oh let's go west
I've been dancing round your grave
Cos' I'm always much to scared
Hope you've longed to say
I never liked the way you dressed
Or the cheap ways you impressed
It gets better now your dead
Thats O.K.
I'm not afraid
Not afraid what anyone says now
I can sit around all day
Don't need to hear you say
You'll regret it at my age
And I'm frozen on this stage
I'm blinded by the gaze
Waited for me to say
Its not O.K.
To be this scared
???????????
I don't need your ghost
Coming back, coming back coming back
Just as the dark began to fall
I caught you singing in the hall
digging graves in my living room
red roses in full bloom
a hanging lamp floats down the hall
i believe in ghosts
though ghosts i never see
ghosts are in my house
they're making fun of me
i can't wake up
from this nightmare
slamming doors when i try to sleep
see me scared the more they reap
Well I'm going for the gusto
No not because I'm supposed to
It's a well-known fact
No I'll never look back
Gonna have another beer
Yeah I'm going for the gusto
No not because I'm supposed to
Most folks sit and watch tv
And think that they're alive
Football, frozen dinners, in-laws
The good times never die
And once in awhile I see myself
And it makes me want to cry
Suddenly I realize
These good times are a lie
I used to walk her home from school
Each and every day
My friends would laugh and throw some rocks
But they too knew she was great
Till I saw her swapping kisses
With that guy named Gary Tate
So I kicked his ass off the overpass
That's back when I was eight
At my brother's wedding
She done ask me fur a dance
I told that gal I ain't real good
But I guess I'll take a chance
With the lights turned low
The music slow
Seemed to put her in a trance
Well fuck this shit
I'm doing it
Like a ghost before me
You walked back into my life
Now I'm so confused
Emotions bruised
You can't turn the clock back baby
It was far too long ago
I may look the same
But people change
Now you're making me confused
(bridge 1)
Now I can see so clearly
Which road I have to take
Though my heart says go
My head tells me no
Don't make the same mistake
(chorus)
You're a ghost come back to haunt me
Right before my eyes
Memory taunting me
You fill my head with lies
Tried to put the past behind me
Didn't want anybody to know
What I felt inside
Had to hide
Couldn't let my feelings show
(bridge 2)
Now I can see so clearly
The road I have to take
Though my heart says go
My head tells me no
Don't make the same mistake
(chorus x 2)
Ghost gonna haunt you
Like a ghost gonna haunt you
(ad lib)
Like a ghost emptiness haunted his years
Still his heart was made of nothing less than good, oh
Insecure narrative in his head, something less than schizophrenia
Creeping him with every move that he makes, breath he takes
A pitiful walk alone to his empty home
Where he'll lay and he'll sleep by himself
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, go
She hates me and I know it because she said so
And I forgot my notebook and my socialist manifesto
Will it be a tragedy or a comedy?
The choice is up to you, life can lead you along on a leash
Or you can break free and run on your own
Don't waste your life, go and live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, far away
Don't waste your life, go and live your life
Like it's your last day here on this earth
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
Go west young man, your future isn't too far away, far away
Go west young man, your future is untold
You can find your dreams on the California Coast
[VERSE 1:]
Said goodbye to him
No regrets no second thoughts
Just kept my heart moving
Tears fell from his eyes
I didn't care I pushed through it
He ain't the one
I thought I might as well keep on looking
So I turn my back, no strings attached
[HOOK:]
Now I'm sitting at my place with my face buried in my hands
Cause everything that I touch fades away like a grain of sand
No love that I try to keep ever seems to last
Dam, This really hurts
Leaving you was a curse so...
[CHORUS:]
If I did you wrong [x3]
I'm sorry
Cameras comin on [x3]
It haunts me
If I did you wrong [x3]
I'm sorry
Cameras comin on [x3]
It haunts me like a ghost
Everywhere I go I see your ghost
When I go to sleep I see your ghost
And it haunts me like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
[VERSE 2:]
1, 2, 3, 4
Moved on to another
Tall, dark, sexy and confident kind of brother
Kept my body hot all day and night like it was summer
That's why I shouldn't be reminiscing
My man I love ya
Cause I turned my back
No strings attached
[HOOK:]
Now I'm sitting at my place with my face buried in my hands
Cause everything that I touch fades away like a grain of sand
No love that I try to keep ever seems to last
Dam, This really hurts
Leaving you was a curse so...
[CHORUS:]
If I did you wrong [x3]
I'm sorry
Cameras comin on [x3]
It haunts me
If I did you wrong [x3]
I'm sorry
Cameras comin on [x3]
It haunts me like a ghost
Everywhere I go I see your ghost
When I go to sleep I see your ghost
And it haunts me like a ghost
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
[BRIDGE: x4]
4, 3, 2, 1
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh oh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Like a ghost
Ghost ohh
[CHORUS:]
If I did you wrong [x3]
I'm sorry
Cameras comin on [x3]
It haunts me
If I did you wrong [x3]
I'm sorry
Cameras comin on [x3]
It haunts me like a ghost
Everywhere I go I see your ghost
When I go to sleep I see your ghost
And it haunts me like a ghost
Like a ghost
I'm a ghost
I'm driftin' into oblivion
Just a gray, old ghost
And a messy oblivion
Well I've had my hopes
They're not what they used to be
I've had hopes
That's between you and me
I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I've been thiking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I think I could love, if you show me
What your lovin' is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just a little kiss
If you're my host
Don't serve me no misery
If you're some host
Don't serve me no misery
'Cause I've had dreams
Sure, they're not what they used to be
Yeah, I've had dreams
But, that's between you and me
I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I think I could love, if you show me
What your lovin' is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just a little kiss
A need a fix and a kiss
Like this
Owwwwww
Well, if you're some queen
Don't delude me with grandeur
If you're some queen
Don't delude me with grandeur
'Cause I've been brought down
By false love's power
I've been knocked to the ground
By false love's power
I've been thinking
I could find some meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I've been thinking
Your love could give me meaning
I could start believing
'stead of killing time
I think I could love, if you show me
What your lovin' is
I think you could show me with a little kiss
Just give me a kiss
Not a punch and a kick
Owwwwww, fix me
Well, all right
Safe on the interstate
New York is three thousand miles away
And I'm not looking forward to following through
But it's better than always running back into you
I've closed my eyes and my bank account
And gone west, young man
Take off the parking brake
Go coasting into a different state
And I'm not looking forward to missing you
But I must have something better to do
I've got to tear my life apart
And go west, young man
And it feels like I've got something to prove
But in some ways it's just something to do
My friends turn me around and say
"You go west, young man"
Stepping down off my platform shoes
Sixty nine in the afternoon
And I'm waiting for someone in the know
Like Pirner tells me on the radio
Says, "Take it from someone who's been there before
You go west, young man"
And I'm looking for somebody to do my thinking for me
Till I come through
The state-line highway sign says
"You have gone west, young man"
And it feels like I've got something to prove
But in some ways it's just something to do
The state-line highway sign says
The leather soles go shufflin' in
Stinking of smoke and ten cent gin
Now who will toast our noble host
Who has this mornin' given up the ghost?
The wooden coffer hand to hand
Kind words are offered, silent prayers
But she is satisfied the most
While stabbing madly at the roast
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain receive no reprieve
The creditor rides with his men
The death of debtors, he won't forgive
They repossess his silver eyes
Now in the potter's field, he lies
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain receive no reprieve
Waitin' for a dead man's shoes
Have you heard the latest news?
Lazarus is back from the dead
Lookin' as one would expect
Drippin' with the waters of Sheol
Babblin' about body and soul
And then he found his wife in their bed
Buck, naked and already wed
The tax collector beneath his sheets
The door swings open, floorboards creak
Now who will toast our noble host
Who has this mornin' given up the ghost?
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
The sons of Cain will receive no reprieve
The rib of Adam, the eyes of Eve
I saw a dream
That the world's disappeared
I thought I'd be
Breaking down every rule
I saw a dream
That the world's in a scheme
I thought I'd be
Hiding out every clue
Here I am
Watching all people's laughter
Here I am
Watching those people
I'm in love with a ghost
It's a beautiful thing in the world
I'm in love with a ghost
Such a beautiful thing in the world
I saw a dream
That the world's disappeared
I thought I'd be
Breaking down every rule
I saw a dream
That the world's in a scheme
I thought I'd be
Hiding out every clue
Here I am
Watching all people's laughter
Here I am
Watching those people
I'm in love with a ghost
It's a beautiful thing in the world
I'm in love with a ghost
Such a beautiful thing in the world
everybody has a ghost
everybody has a ghost who sings like you do
yours is not like mine
but it's alright, keep it up
boy loses rib in new orleans
he can't help eyein' up the whores
under the bridge
boy loses rib and lets a hellified cry into the dark
where did i go wrong?
where did i go wrong?
i never needed this before
i need a woman to help me feel
everybody has the dream
everybody has the dream like a world tattoo
yours is not like mine, it's alright, keep it up
the scalped dives into the skin
good doctors never leave a scar
no proof again
i'll taake the myth, you take the blood
it's all the same to the world dreamer
it's all the same in the end
boy loses rib in new orleans
he trades some ether for a chance
under the bridge
boy loses rib as he's summoned to the mud
flat on his back
My eyes skim the crowd i try and find you as if you were never there
But i could have sworn i saw you standing there with that look in your eyes
Proud and strong by my side you're on my mind you're out there i feel it
I've been around in the runaway places
I've seen them all where the angels bleed
I've lost and found all your traces
I guess I tried for the reason you loved me
Until you find out
So hard to be there when you need me
When you try not to find
So hard to be there when you need me
When you try not to mind
There's no-one home tonight
Ghost
What comes around the fall embraces
And seals it all till the winter's deep
What's been love the pain replaces
I guess I lied for the reason you loved me
Until you find out
So hard to be there when you need me
When you try not to find
So hard to be there when you need me
When you try not to mind
There's no-one home tonight

There's a letter on the desktop that I dug out of a drawer
The last truce we ever came to in our adolescent war
And I start to feel the fever from the warm air through the screen
You come regular like seasons shadowing my dreams
And the Mississippi's mighty but it starts in Minnesota
At a place that you could walk across with five steps down
And I guess that's how you started like a pinprick to my heart
Now you rush right through me and I start to drown
And there's not enough room in this world for my pain
Signals cross and love gets lost and time passed makes it plain
Of all my demon spirits I need you the most
I'm in love with your ghost
Dark and dangerous like a secret that gets whispered in a hush
When I wake the things I dreamt about you last night makes me blush
And you kiss me like a lover then you sting me like a viper
I go follow to the river play your memory like a piper
And I feel it like a sickness how this love is killing me
I'd walk into the fingers of your fire willingly
And that's the edge of sanity, I've never been this close
I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost
Unknowing captor, you never know how much you
Pierce my spirit but I can't touch you
Can you hear it, a cry to be free?
I'm forever under lock and key as you pass through me
Now I see your face before me, I would launch a thousand ships
To bring your heart back to my island as the sand beneath me slips
As I burn up in your presence and I know now how it feels
To be weakened like Achilles with you always at my heels
This bitter pill I swallow is the silence that I keep
It poisons me, I can't swim free, the river is too deep
Though I'm baptized by your touch, I am no worse than most
I'm in love with your ghost, I'm in love with your ghost
Yeah, whoa whoa
Yeah, whoa whoa
Haha
Yeah
My name is Scott Mescudi
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Yeah
Gotta get it through my thick head
I was so close to bein' dead, yeah
Life, live it, nobody sell tips
Man, I'm just walkin' without bein' led
See the world is so crazy and filled with such risk
I just know I gotta dodge them
The beginnings are followed by an end
In the in-between time I'm not runnin' or hidin' in
See, things
Come
Around
And make sense eventually
Things
Come
Around
But some things trouble me
The people I met and the places I've been
All will make me the man I so proudly am
But I wanna know one thing
When did I become a ghost?
I'm mostly confused about the world I live in
They think that I'm lonely, well I probably am
One thing that still gets me
When did I become a ghost? Yeah
Na-na-na na-na-na-na whoa whoa whoa haha yeah
Yeah yeah whoa-whoa Yo
Tried to fight it
And soon I gave in
Down a road with no lights on
Can't describe it, and you don't move like them
You've become their worst nightmare
You remember the things that your parents have said
You'd rather find out the hard way
You should tell a friend to tell a friend to tell a friend
I keep with my stroll, I'm not runnin' or hidin' in
See things
Come
Around
And make sense eventually
Things
Come
Around
And some things still trouble me
The people I met and the places I've been
All will make me the man I so proudly am
But I wanna know one thing
When did I become a ghost?
I'm mostly confused about the world I live in
They think that I'm lonely, well I probably am
One thing that still gets me
When did I become a ghost? Yeah
Na-na-na na-na-na-na whoa whoa whoa haha yeah
Yeah yeah whoa-whoa Yo
Mmm-oohh
I hope they understand that I really understand that they don't understand
I hope they understand that I really understand that they don't understand
I really understand that they
I really think I um...
I hope they understand that I really understand that they don't understand...woah
Listen to me
Whoa-oa-oa

Crazy...

Around and round...
Crazy
Turning towards a time so free
Justice has finally escaped
The dripping words of yesterday
Set my feeble mind astray
I yearn to see
The glow of her eyes as I appear
A sign of satisfaction
Could be the sweetest sound
The staircase has one too many steps
I've already started back down
Come on
I love the caterpillars
Munching on the leaves
Pitter patter
Makes me forget my disease
Bugs have feelers just like me
And I'm feelin' oh so lonely
Disturbed in every sense of grace
The lady wouldn't give me a taste
Of the joy that means that much
It lives within her touch
Why won't you be my friend
I would love to hold you tonight
Even if we just pretend
Why won't you be my friend
Why won't you be my friend
I would love to hold you tonight
Even if we just pretend
Why won't you be my friend
Be my friend
I'd love to meet the one
Who broke my heart
I know she'd melt me with her dance
Her subtle colors, her sweet smile
But it's a shame
I climbed down, to watch the tide
Mark the time that slips away
Where the oceans meet the sky
The drawing out of self
And bitter cold goes side by side
The self-sustained obscurity
The sense I can't maintain
The ghost that never wanes
I walk out to meet my fate
In the receding of the day
In hope the tide will grant me stay
From the ghost that never wanes
So torn and frayed
My times, lives, faces,
None can wear away
Time slips away
Let them rest upon the waves
Peace at last for those who wait
Before I go out too far
Before the depth I seek moves further away
I walk out to meet my fate
In the receding of the day
In hope the tide will grant me stay
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me
Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down
I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head
No more phone calls
No more letters
No more fighting
In a matter
Than I ever felt before
I don't miss you
I don't want you
I don't need you
And I'd love to say
I could not ask for more
But if all that's true
And it all makes sense
Then I'm okay I guess
'Cause I don't believe in ghosts
I wouldn't call me superstitious
But something's in the air that I can't see
I swear I feel you breathe
Like you're lying next to me
If you've really set me free
Tell me baby why ya haunting me, yeah
This is crazy
You're so clever
'Cause baby I would never
Think to do
These things you do
Showin' up in
All my dreams and
Teasing me until I scream
I thought you said
I don't love you
But that's not fair
It isn't right
So give me back my life
'Cause I don't believe in ghosts
I wouldn't call me superstitious
But something's in the air that I can't see
I swear I feel you breathe
Like you're lying next to me
If you've really set me free
Tell me baby why ya haunting me, yeah
I'm afraid to close my eyes
And not go to bed
And turn out the lights
I never know just what I'm gonna see
Never know exactly where you'll be
'Cause I don't believe in ghosts
I wouldn't call me superstitious
But something's in the air that I can't see
I swear I feel you breathe
Like you're lying next to me
If you've really set me free
Tell me baby why ya haunting me, yeah
Why ya haunting me, yeah
"Ghost"
I feel the things I said
but never said how I felt
I know I waited much too long
could I get it in your head
without a head full of doubt
looking back it seems that I
went about it all wrong
Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shades
the ghosts that sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died
to you that died
Wasn't long ago
when forever was our friend
but now freedom's what I feel inside
it hurts so much to let you go
to know we'll never touch again
when I walk if I fall down
can I take it in stride
Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shades
the ghosts that sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died
to you that died
I might let you go, but i'll never go away
I might let you go, but i'll never go away...yeah
I feel the things I said
but never said how I felt
I know I waited much too long
Lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shades
the ghosts that sleeping by your side
are my promises to that died
lying alone in the bed we made
watching headlights on the shades
the ghosts that sleeping by your side
are my promises to you that died
to you that died
Te fuiste de tu casa porque todo te iba a ir mejor,mejor
y ahora te das cuenta que las cosas se dan mucho peor,peor

y todo en tu casa se convierte en casa de dos...
En casa de dos,en casa de dos
En casa de dos,en casa de dos.
todo en tu casa se convierte en casa de dos

todo en tu casa se convierte en casa de dos
en casa de dos
Sè acabo tu vida,se acabó tu libertad,tu libertad
no tenès para comer,no sabes como hacer para pagar,para pagar.
Porque tu casa se convierte en casa de dos,
en casa de dos.
Porque tu casa se convierte en casa de dos
en casa de dos,en casa de dos
en casa de dos,en casa de dos.
todo en tu casa se convierte en casa de dos

i saw a ghost beside my bed
she said to me she wasn't dead
she wore a ribbon in her hair
she smiled and vanished in the air
is she real or am i going crazy? (x2)
i couldn't sleep, lay still and thought
about her eyes and smile i adored
she had a way i'd never seen
i fell in love you won't believeis she real or am i going crazy? (x2)
in the morning when i awoke
there was no surprise just sun and more
but what is that there i see?
a ribbon on the floor for me
she is real and i'm not crazy (x2)
I can be ice
I can move up your spine
In your head, just behind
The hand on your shoulder
Pushing your shadows
I move like a spider
I can't see you now
But I won't step aside
I'll walk a straight line
Straight into your arms
Holding you close
Yeah, I'm pulling you out of the [?]
[?] moon, lantern light
Steady your heart
Don't you trust what you see?
The corner of your eye
Catch me in silence
Run if you're scared
I do recognise you
Yes I know your soul
Callous, so sure
Talking [???]
Ravenous, if you will
I can't feel you now
But I won't step aside
I'll walk a straight line
Straight into your arms
Holding you close
Yeah, I'm pulling you out of the dark
There's a hole in the sky
And I'm reaching inside
If ever I needed you
Come to me now
I'm holding the light
Pulling you out
Yeah I'm pulling you out of the cold
Bring back the heroes
Bring back the poets
All of the bright lights
I picked up the pieces of a tune inside my head
And waited for inspiration to be fed
It seems so long since I felt the need to care
Circumstance often dealt with what we share
If I could find something to make you cry
Test your Iove but there's no need to even try
Let's move forward with our quest
And just ignore the rest
I fell in love in high school
With a brown haired, green eyed girl
I walked her home most everyday
Held her hand, I held the world
We made our plan to run away
I couldn't wait to share her life
We started countin down the days
She couldn't wait to be my wife
I got a job and bought a car
I turned 18 that spring
By summer, had my own place
And I bought my baby's ring
I fell in with the wrong crowd
Breakin laws, I broke her heart
By autumn, was in handcuffs
Baby's cryin out in her front yard
And that's what hurt the most
I saw it in her green eyes
She had seen a ghost
My mamma saw me every week
Tried her hardest not to cry
She told me that she loved me
Disappointment in her eyes
I said, "Mamma, I love you too,
I'm gonna make you proud one day"
A month before I got out
They told me mamma passed away
And that's what hurt the most
I saw it in her sad eyes
Her son was a ghost
I hate this life I chose
Long before she died
Her son was a ghost
Now I got my freedom
But it feels like emptiness
In front of the apartment
Where your sister says you live
And there's another man
Who fills my empty shoes
And darling you don't see me
But you know that I see you,
I drift off...
I'm gonna fade away
Beyond the city lights
I'm gonna fade away
Through the empty night
I wanna fade away
Drifting out your life
I wanna fade away
Through the empty night
I'm gonna fade away
Beyond the city lights
I'm gonna fade away
Through the emty night
If you want to get it on
If you want to turn me on
Well it´s like this
First thing I need is a kiss
And if you want me to come on strong
If you want to get me long
Well you´re gonna miss
Unless you´re ready with a kiss
Give me kiss after kiss
One after another
Don´t kiss me like you´re kissing your mother
Taste my tongue, do it with passion
To get to the point where we feel cum splashin´
You want below the belt
Honey we´ll get there yet
To reach that state of bliss
Start it with a kiss kiss kiss
And if it´s practice you need
You can practice all over me
Man, you got such luscious lips
Give them the pleasure of a kiss
Disinterested kisses won´t get my attention
Like kissing someone with a throat infection
When you kiss with enthusiasm
You´re well on your way to an intense orgasm
If you want to get it on
If you want to turn me on
Well it´s like this
i head for distant lands
leaving my expenses
forsake this land of plastic
i would try to be something but you wont stop talking
drifting for the farthest shore
i would try to be something but you wont stop debating
try to find ways so i can start living
its been said the things you buy they own you
but they dont own me anymore
this time things will be different
submitting to this mountain
cant find your way to the top
this time things will change
stranded on a distant shore waves crash down on me
just another wasted year
turning on the vide castaway
Do you remember when the walls fell
Do you remember the sound that the door made when you closed it
on me
Do you know that i went down to the ground
Landed on both my broken hearted knees
I didn't even cry
Because pieces of me had already died
I'm a ghost
Haunting these halls
Climbing up walls that I never knew were there
and I'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart
You know you make me a ghost
You make me a ghost
I'm an invisible disaster
I keep trying to walk but my feet don't find the solid ground
It's like living in a bad dream
I keep trying to scream but my tongue has finally lost its sound
I've got to say goodbye
To the pieces of me that have already died
I'm a ghost
Haunting these halls
Climbing these walls that I never knew were there
And i'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart
You know you make me a ghost
Oh you make me a ghost
You make me a ghost (you take the breath all away from me, you
take it away)
You make me a ghost
I don't cry
I don't try anymore
I'm a ghost
I'm a ghost
And I'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle
I'm a ghost
Haunting these halls
Climbing up walls that I never knew were there
And i'm lost
Broken down the middle of my heart, heart
I'm broken down the middle of my heart, heart, heart
You know you make me a ghost
I never wanted you to leave
I only said those things because
I knew they'd hurt you.
You can believe what you believe.
Ill be here in the dark, Until you find me
I don’t wanna be the last one to know
Even if I have to, here I have an incurable disease,
Please call when you reach your decision
Tell the truth, even if it hurts, yeah it will hurt me too
Castaway.I was floating in blue skies, to barely hanging with a broken hand
Wait and see if I sink or swim, you pull me up, hopefully
Why do I wanna want you to save me , when I was: Castaway
I stare ahead into a dream
Im losing a part of me
Systems failing
In a crowded and Im all alone
Watch my face turn into stone
And somehow drift away.
I don’t wanna be the last one to know
Even though I know whats coming and
Its typical typical. Your mind's made up, theres no decision.
Tell the truth, even if it hurts, yeah it will hurt me too
Castaway.I was floating in blue skies,to barely hanging with a broken hand
Wait and see if I sink or swim, will you pull me up? Hopefully
Why do I want you to save me , when I was: Castaway
But now Im stronger
But now Im strong
But now Im stronger
Castaway.
Castaway
Castaway.
I was floating in blue skies, to barely hanging with a broken hand
Wait and see if I sink or swim, will you pull me up? Hopefully.
Something hiding behind me
Something hiding behind me
I know what do you think of me
Tripping the line stuck in the mud
Somebody in my lane
Who who who I said freak
Somebody in this place
Has been put out to grass
I said it could be you
The ghost in my life
I WONT LIE I WONT HATE I WONT CRY I WONT SHAKE
I'M THE GHOST IN THE WAY
You sold me down the river, my friend
You said you were my best friend, never again
Where is England now?
Is it America?
Where is my home?
It's not where it was
Is that a stupid word
I found another day?
I WONT SHY I WONT SAY I WILL FALL IN THE WAY
SO SAY WHY I'M THE GHOST IN THE WAY?
What do I do and what do I say?
What do I know and what should I save?
I'm still playing at being a prayer
What do I know and what should I say?
Give me your smile to show me your faith
Prose in my head, I am the bird
And this obsession is turning back, turning back
Take me to the ladder and force me into place
Take me to the ladder and put me in my place
What do I do and what do I say?
What do I know and what should I save?
I am still playing at being a prayer
What do I know and what do I care?
What do I know and why should I share?
I'm still playing at being a prayer
At this unholy hour
At this unholy place
At this unholy hour
I AM THE GHOST IN THE WAY I AM THE GHOST IN THE WAY
Hey, stop on a dime.
Take both your hands,
reach them above, one at a time.
Are you alone in here?
I heard the voice so clearly.
I tried not to breathe.
Tried not to speak.
Clamping my tongue between my teeth.
Are you alone in here?
I heard the voice so clearly say,
Well, there are fine lines I've seen we are stuck in between.
With separate eyes to use and throw aside.
How we die, nobody wants to know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
Where everybody goes.
Oh, no, this can't be it.
I start to sweat.
Haunted by all the things I've missed.
This can't be right.
I realize right then that it's me or him, yeah.
There are fine lines I've seen we are stuck in between.
With separate eyes to use and throw aside.
How we die, nobody has to know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
Where everybody goes.
(What if I don't?)
Oh, no, I can't believe this.
I don't know why this had to happen.
I had no choice.
Well, it was me or him.
There's a fine line between what is justified or just obscene.
Fragile lines to use and throw aside.
How to die, nobody wants to know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
How we die, no, I will never know.
Who decides where everybody goes.
..I want to be your angel
but it's not supposed to be
I want to keep you out of danger
But it's not one of my abilities
I'm just a ghost
Not really here
But there for you
And I do care
I'm by your side
I'll follow you
You're in my heart
What can I do
In the night when you're asleep
We can really be together
Our emotions are so deep
Why just can't we dream forever
I'm just a ghost
Not really here
But there for you
And I do care
I'm by your side
I'll follow you
You're in my heart
What can I do
only you ... can see me
You can hear what I say
only you can talk to me
in a very special way
I'm just a ghost
Not really here
But there for you
And I do care
I'm by your side
I'll follow you
You're in my heart
Vortex motion be my temper
I can feel them coming closer
Cosmic hunters chose their victim
Close to the trap where I am in
Danger for the chaos system
Coming closer I can feel them
Liquid noise sounds so inhuman
Whispering outer space anthem
I'm a castaway
That's not my place to stay
I wanna find my
Home where I'm from
Help me fly away
Starring eyes I can't wait longer
I can feel them coming closer
Increasing light shows when I turn
Open mind - blurred body pattern
Floating parts of an ex-human
You don't know who I really am
Danger for the chaos system
I’m wondering alone in an open space
Looking around for a human trace
Along the edge of this satellite
Loosing the root in this empty sky
A prey of the ghosts of this galaxy
Losing myself in this ecstasy
No clock is turning to sign the time
Everything’s flowing through day and night
No noise is breaking my silent star
I’m on the run I can go so far
Flying in absence of gravity
Feeling the vibe of eternity
This is the lesson I had to learn
This is the treasure I had to earn
I am the owner in nowhere land
Queen of the castle that’s made of sand
Staring in front of the universe
Maybe someday I’ll be somewhere else
I’m sure I’ll do it, but till’ that day
Here on my cell I am just a castaway
I’m wondering alone in an open space
Looking around for a human trace
Along the edge of this satellite
Loosing the root in this empty sky
A prey of the ghosts of the galaxy
Losing myself in this ecstasy
No clock is turning to sign the time
Everything’s flowing through day and night
No noise is breaking my silent star
I’m on the run I can go so far
Flying in absence of gravity
Feeling the vibe of eternity
This is the lesson I had to learn
This is the treasure I had to earn
I am the owner in nowhere land
Queen of the castle that’s made of sand
Staring in front of the universe
Maybe someday I’ll be somewhere else
I’m sure I’ll do it, but till’ that day
Here on my cell I am just a castaway
I want to slam the coastline
I want to hammer trees
You know I like it
We used the bend the risers
And the maple leaves
You know I like it
Because it’s you to wonder
How I drive
Because it’s you I wanted
For now
We used the burn the lamplight
On the rainy Sundays
You know I like it
I want to drive the highway
I want to feel the breeze
You know I like it
Because it’s you to be
My ageless ghost
Because it’s you I wanted
For now
