The Classic Crime - Ghost Lyrics

A young man lacking sense
Sells his soul to circumstance
His movements indecise
He does not know that it will cost his life
She's a harlot
Boisterous and rebellious
Her husband gone, this father's daughter
Leads the young man to the slaughter

In shadows you sleep
Too careless to see
The things that matter most (ghost, ghost)
So much that when you are faced the truth
You look like you've seen a ghost (ghost, ghost)

A young man lacking sense
Pushes on to consequences
He lives to feed his flesh
The scavengers will clean up what is left
She's a harlot
Simple and persuasive
With seduction she always gets her way
Her bed will be his early grave

In shadows you sleep
Too careless to see
The things that matter most (ghost, ghost)
So much that when you are faced the truth
You look like you've seen a ghost (ghost, ghost)

But I still know the shadows evidence the glow
But I still know

Ghost (ghost)
Ghost
I'll only be your ghost
I'll only get so close
I'll only be your ghost
(Ghost)
In shadows we sleep
(I'll only be your ghost)
Too careless to see
(I'll only get so close)
When faced with the truth
(I'll only be your ghost)
