lyrics

here's the ghost
hauntin' your shanty
callin' out, "unshackle me"
he sits on the pile of ash Wednesdays past
waitin' for the reveilee
waitin' for the reveilee

there he lives
beneath the primer coat
singin' second harmony
she'll hum the tune, but he'll sing the words
nearer by my God to Thee
nearer by my God to Thee

feel the love
that whispers in his song
feel every bending note
it's like children lost in New York town
with their mothers in their throats
with their mothers in their throats

here's the star
that ceased to sparkle there
crawling through his charming tone
that see-saw man will let you down
trace your hands and turn to stone
trace your hands and turn to stone

should I whisper
in your living walls
or should I yell from out the screen
hide the mesh inside your eyelids bright
slam the door, and cause a scene?
slam the door, and cause a scene?

here's the ghost
hauntin' your shanty
callin', "will you marry me?"
she'll stare awhile and touch his hand
and turn as white as he
and turn as white as he
