Wise Up Ghost |
Last lions roar before they’re tamed |
I stood out in the glorious reign |
Knowing full well I can’t go home again |
Wise Up Ghost |
Wise Up |
When are you going to rise up? |
Wise Up Ghost |
Yield some sighs up |
Wise Up Ghost |
Go on your merry way now if you must |
Fool’s Gold turns rivets into rust |
'Til you don’t know who to trust |
Wise Up Ghost |
Wise Up |
When are you going to rise up? |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost) |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Old woman living in a cardboard shoe |
Lost so many souls, she don’t know what to do |
So, say your prayers 'cos down the stairs it’s 1932 |
Wise Up Ghost |
She revolves around a sparkling pole |
Stares into the mirrored wall |
Sees another woman walking through a market stall |
(She's pulling out the pin) |
Wise Up Ghost |
(She's pulling out the pin) |
Wise Up |
When are you going to rise up? |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost) |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Lost girl found on the radio |
Down around Larado |
Go direct to hell you murdering so-and-so |
Wise Up Ghost |
Trapped within a House of Feathers |
Sitting in a Shirt of Wire |
Howling at a Wall of Flowers |
Saying «Wise Up Ghost» |
Wise Up |
When are you going to rise up? |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost) |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
I walked along an iron pier |
Where Rose’s kisses turned to tears |
Saltwater rushing over the pebbles under there |
Wise Up Ghost |
Last sigh of passion |
Slipped into the room like an assassin |
Glad tidings we bring |
For you and your King |
Wise Up Ghost |
Wise Up |
When are you going to rise up? |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Yield some sighs up (Wise Up Ghost) |
Wise Up Ghost (Wise Up Ghost) |
Last lions roar before they’re tamed |
I stood out in the glorious reign |
Knowing full well I can’t go home again |
Wise Up Ghost |
Wise Up |
When are you going to rise up? |
Wise Up Ghost |
Yield some sighs up |
Wise Up Ghost |
