i'm a ghost, and i wanted you to know
|
that it's taking all my strength to make this toast.
|
i'm a ghost and i want you to come close
|
cause i don't want you to miss me and this quote
|
i'm a ghost - i'm no one of any note.
|
sure, your mind was made up long before i spoke.
|
but i'm a ghost - one of an unholy host,
|
made invisible and mute, but with sore throats.
|
look - you cant make a sound from
|
six feet under ground.
|
now you'll say you disagree, keep my statistic around.
|
but if it looks like a dog and it smells like a dog,
|
well then it probably is, so let's just give it a walk.
|
i'm a ghost - so it dont matter what i know,
|
and you wont mind if i dont speak "comme il faut,"
|
but you've been caught "in flagrante delicto,"
|
and the ghosts are lining up outside your door.
|
because you cant make a sound from six feet under ground.
|
now you'll say you disagree,
|
but come on - look what we've found:
|
if i can talk 'til im dead and still not get in your head,
|
well then it's probably true, so let's put this idea to bed.
|
why did you not talk to me?
|
you said you would talk to me.
|
you can never talk to me again.
|
there's no more tale to recound and no more truth to renounce,
|
and no more finding me here,
|
if e'er you do come around.
|
see, they have lowered me down,
|
put me back deep underground.
|
i'm on my side in the earth "where there's no rebirth...'
|
why did you not come to me?
|
you said you would come to me.
|
you could always come to be back then.
|
why did you not talk to me?
|
you said you would talk to me.
|
you can never talk to me again.
