the microphones – great ghosts lyrics

Loading...

i had my hopes of how i would be
after living in exile
after closing your eyes to me

i even wrote scenes where i reemerged boldly
bearded, alive, with eskimo eyes
new baby on my back

but i didn’t count the fact that i have ghosts in my mind
stowaways. great ghosts of my life
great ghosts of old wives
and they’re howling!

so i spent my wilderness time rolling on the ground
pulling my hair, and wrestling them off
yelling at no one, punching snow

i gathered ghosts and gave them my lecture
bid them away, i pleaded and cried
“there’s no room in my life for you or your howling!”

let me undo these ropes and go on living without you
not just change where i live
“go on, get,” i said

i had my hopes of how i would be after sending them off
after getting set free
but there’s no such thing as living without their prowling

as you can see having descended the hill
i still look like me, i still wallow like phil
and forever will

i’m teaming with ghosts and i’m still whining for wives
unknitting my brow, but now i’ve surrendered
in fact i’ve joined in
you can hear us howling
