lyrics

PART-TIME GHOST

the part time ghost has seen the most
disaster in her eyes
no time to shake those lies
but after all, we had a ball
for a moment in the rain
before we all washed out again

and if forever's not too kind
no more shall we run
to be the captain and the gun
and if we leave it all behind
those moments fade away
like teardrops in the rain

i never strayed too far away
just enough to see the moon
and all the ones who left the room
this mending wall has seen it all
so over it, i crawled
back to the space behind my wall

and if forever's not too cold
no more shall we be
between the edges of this sea
and if we let it fade away
we'll wave to the wind
that brings us back to earth again

this phoenix dawn, it all goes on
and on into the night
but no one cares to stop and fight
and so it goes, its just one of those
things we'll think about
when time is running out

and if forever's not too soon
we'll keep it rolling til we're done
or til we find another one
and if we burn it all in vain
i'll flash a grin and walk away
and think of what i'll never say
sometimes it's better off that way
