Ghosts

You were so sure, but it's all premature
Going from post to post
But now she's creaking up the stairs and
You're so unaware of this unholy host
Apple vinegar, it never leaves you
You spent your time out on the road
Other sailors, other failures
You spent your time on the Barbary Coast

So bring back the rhythm of ghosts
That dance six feet from under my toes
Hold back the passing of time
I don't know what happens when we die
What happens when we die?

You were alright, it was only midnight
Just trying to find your way home
And you would never guess in that black satin dress
Her skin was colder than a stone
Early morning, without warning
Oh, you laughed and it's all the same
In the bar light, on a good night
Oh, you knew that we'd never change

So bring back the rhythm of ghosts
That dance six feet from under my toes
Hold back the passing of time
I don't know what happens when we die
What happens when we die?
What happens when we die?

But I seem to recall
My one and only fault
Was loving you, loving you
There was a bar across the street
We got something to drink
Tried to talk it out
But I had my doubts
Oh, I had my doubts
I had my doubts

So bring back the rhythm of ghosts
That dance six feet from under my toes
Hold back the passing of time
I don't know what happens when we die
What happens when we
Bring back the rhythm of ghosts
That dance six feet from under my toes
Hold back the passing of time
I don't know what happens when we die
What happens when we die?
What happens when we die?
