Only Ghost
(The Burning Dirty Band)
Whitlock, Garman
The weather's changed ~ Mercury marks off the time ~ I'd like to take that mercury ~ I'd like to make that mercury
a dime ~
This bed is cold ~ Though I'm hearing footsteps in the hall ~ Will they come watch over me? ~ Could I stand to meet a step so tall? ~
Every shadow shimmers free ~ Yeah, this house is haunted ~ But the only ghost is me ~
Tattered paint ~ A cloud of dust behind a car ~ Rise to
fill this empty heat ~ Settle down inside a fractured jar ~
What frightens me ~ Ain't got a thing to do with dyin' ~ Sit and watch the floorboards rot ~ Convince myself that everything is fine ~
Every shadow shimmers free ~ Yeah, this house is haunted ~ But the only ghost is... ~
You never get to pick the house ~ It builds itself around you ~ You never get to write the ending ~ The crowd knows when you're through
