Lyrics for Song: Miss Ghost
Lyrics for Album: Inside Job [2000]
On a miss begotten moonless night
I stumbled to my door
Disgusted with my circumstance
Soaked to every pore
When floating from my bedroom
Came a moaning and a sigh
Oh, I've had one too many
It's just the wind says I
I light up a cigarette
And poured a good stiff drink
You see, I needed to compose myself
I needed time to think
No sooner had I settled down
Then the moaning came again
Drifting through the silence
Like some other worldly violin
I bounded up the staircase and
Went slippin' and sliddin' down the hall
You know I've been around the whole wide world
But I was not prepared at all
Uninvited visitor, unsuspecting host
Well I see you've made yourself at home
Good evening Miss Ghost
You're more beautiful than ever
And I feel just like a kid
I commenced to trembling
Wen I think of all the things we did
Skin as pale as marble
Lips as red as blood
Imagine my surprise my dear
When I thought that you was gone for good
You look so lovely lying there
All stretched out on your back
But I'm the one whose stung up here
On temptations rusty rack
And in the wee small hours,
Is when I miss you the most
And I confess it, I have missed you
Ahh, Miss Ghost
I threw open the window
And I howled at the rain
I cursed the weakness of the flesh
This flesh and bone
And this brute reptilian brain
Whisper:
Now what dirty tricks the mind can play
In the lonely dead of night
When you bump into the shadow
Of a faded love that wasn't right
Way down beyond the surface
Far beyond the light of day
So many things lye buried deep
And Baby they should stay that way
Oh my wicked little habit
We really made a mess
Everything's been trivialized
In our vain persuit of happiness
Even though you've come for me
I won't go back with you
To some temporary heaven
Down some empty dead end avenue
It's been good to have you here
And I propose a toast
Here's to seeing though you
Mmm,Miss Ghost
