The Jazz Butcher - Ghosts

from the album  Waiting For The Love Bus


Darling
You don't have to be afraid
Darling
You don't have to let the people get you down.

No I
I do believe there's something you could do.
Oh I
Believe the things we once believed
Think maybe that you could do it too.

We could be ghosts.  And fly down stairways.
We could be ghosts.  And disappear.
We could be ghosts.  And talk to animals.
We could be ghosts.  And out of here.

Darling
Evolution's getting on my nerves.
And Darling
I want to know the purpose each thing serves.

Then I
Remember things from thousands of years ago.
Yes I
Believe the things we once believed
And I believe that you already know.

We could be ghosts.  And be fantastic.
We could be ghosts.  And disappear.
We could be ghosts.  And be unimaginable.
We could be ghosts.  Forever dear.

Then a glass breaks.
Everybody's petrified that's natural
I know you meant no harm
But sometimes these days it's a problem.
When you haven't done this much
They're so easily alarmed.

Oh I
I'm sure those kind of frights must have their own reward.
Oh oh oh I
I'm sure it's only fear that makes them act the way they do towards us
Who cares?

We could be ghosts.  And fly down stairways.
We could be ghosts.  And disappear.
We could be ghosts.  And talk to animals.
We could be ghosts.  And out of here.
We could be ghosts.  No one can hurt us.
We could be ghosts.  By atmosphere.
We could be ghosts.  And dance on pianos.
We could be ghosts.  Forever dear.
