I can feel myself drifting
Away from me and you;
Like a boat loose from it's moorings,
Adrift upon the blue.
I feel the waves beneath me
And as I gently rock
I realize that it is freeing
To be sailing from the dock.
So I'll head out into the ocean
And drift to new found lands;
I realize that right here, right now,
I have happiness in my hands.
I sought the Devil's playing once --
It was a scorching night.
I thought he'd like an audience
Who wouldn't want a fight.
I found him in the Farmer's field
Beneath a lidded moon,
And so I crossed the field as
The Devil played his tune.
The tell you that his skin is red,
And he'll have hooves instead of feet;
But I'll tell you now, within that field
It was a man that I did meet.
At first he kept on sawing at
That sweet old fiddle's strings
With a tune that didn't quite sound right
But told me many things.
And when his song was finished
His lips in speech did part,
And I could hear the troubles
That weighed upon his heart.
"
I can feel it behind my eyes;
There's a pressure building and
Growing in size.
I can feel it beneath my skin,
Crawling around like it's
Original Sin.
I can feel it in my fingers tips;
You can't feel it when I touch you,
Or when you kiss my lips?
It's even in the words I say;
I've turned into a Hunter and
You're suddenly the Prey.
I can feel it squirm around my spine;
It moves into my heart and now
I have become it's shrine.
We're just ghosts with no names,
We won't put up with these games;
We walk and these city lights,
They shine right through us.
Don't have no shadows now
Though we're always out and around.
His hand fits right in mine;
It's meant to be there.
Chorus:
Ghosts, ghosts walking in the sunshine;
I'll be yours and you be mine now.
Ghosts, ghosts walking in the moonlight.
You always felt just right.
You shine tonight.
We shine; Ghosts.
Don't go into the light too soon;
Our favorite movie plays at noon.
Come float around this town,
Or right on through it.
We could do it.
Do you know what I see;
And what makes you a part of me?
You
I know what you feel when you look at me;
I'll watch you fall,
I'll watch you burn.
You've never looked as good in the light.
I see you've been consumed by me;
I'll watch you choke,
I'll watch you drown.
I look my best in the dark.
I think that you're struck blind by me;
I'll watch you cut,
I'll watch you hurt.
We'll never look better then we do apart.
I walk beneath the azure sky,
With golden grains now under my feet
Which burn and scald my fragile skin
Whenever the two would deign to meet.
The blackened Kohl runs down my face,
Ruined smudges around Goddesses' eyes;
The cooling beads of sweat give chase,
A foreign feeling in my world to go with -
Banished, banished! This word's a curse
Growled feral, it plays upon my fears.
This curse joins with the desert here
To chisel slowly at my years.
The wind is as fire to cracked skin,
The sun a beast upon my brow.
I feel the darkness creep within
Over my senses come demon's hands and then -
There, again! The smell of life;
Moistur
