The Ghost Song (No Such Thing)

it floats up the staircase

it floats down the hall

floats into my bedroom

right through the wall

it glides past my dresser

to the bed post

I swear, I'm looking at a ghost



naaah.



There's no such thing

it's not a ghost because there's no such thing

I can't be frightened of a globby, green, glow,

'cause i know, there's no such thing.



it picks up some playingcards

and chuffles the back

it goes to the kitchen

it fixes a snack

it plays the piano

it swings on the swing

it does a LOT considering there's no such thing



then it beats my computer

as quick as you please

it floats on the keyboard

it presses some keys



what creature might you be?

comes up on the screen

I type in: a human being

suddenly the room goes as icy as winter

and something comes out on the printer



no such thing

you can't be human

'cause there's no such thing

those human stories

they scare ghost so

but we know

there's no such thing



- now, hold the phone

I'm really real

- you're not

- I am

- oh no

- you're wrong i pride

- alright, let's play a game of cards to decide

- OK, whoever wins the game, that one's real

it types out: you got it. now deal



I ask him for aces

he types out: go fish

He ask me for sevens

i type out: you wish

- jacks?

- sorry

- queens?

- no

- sixes?

- na-a

- twos?



we played for an hour

and guess what

I loose



no such thing, aha!

you don't excist

you're no such thing

It made me crazy to be told where to go

but something is no such thing



this story now is over

the story is true

if someone views my email

thinks the story is true



but there's no such thing

it didnt happen

'cause theres no such thing

I made the whole thing up

so I outta know

and I know there's no such thing



there's no such thing

(whisper) there's no such thing



i hope.
