THIS OLD GHOST

this old ghost is gonna wander in the garden
say hello to the birds, to the bees he'll beg their pardon
this old ghost is gonna wander through the garden wall

begging me, believe me, it's a wonder
that he's seen it all
from the barren to the thunder
under/over it, it's time to crawl

to the mirror in the rift
of the tunnel, it's a gift
we're alone

this old ghost is gonna wander in the garden
say hello to the birds, to the bees he'll beg their pardon
this old ghost is gonna wander through the garden wall

screaming like a king who's hearing
"no" for the first time
while scheming, profiteering
down below the rabid ghostline

to the mirror in the rift
of the tunnel, it's a gift
we're alone

this old ghost is gonna wander in the garden
say hello to the birds, to the bees he'll beg their pardon
this old ghost is gonna wander through the garden wall

hiding in the corner in the morning
what's in store today?
should we take it to the top
or should we sit and watch it wither away
maybe yesterday will fade away
just like the fog in the wind
or maybe we'll pretend
to give a shit until the bitter end

to the mirror in the rift
of the tunnel, it's a gift
we're alone

this old ghost is gonna wander in the garden
say hello to the birds, to the bees he'll beg their pardon
this old ghost is gonna wander through the garden wall
