| The ghost of a friend came down to me singing don’t go back to misery
|
| She spread out her wings and said listen to me
|
| This ain’t no place for you to be
|
| Oh my darling you can set me free
|
| So I packed up my sorrows and I followed her down to the West Way Road
|
| Heading outta town
|
| The grass is greener off the beaten track
|
| Come with me and we won’t look back
|
| Oh my darling I could only try
|
| Yea the clowns here have taken the town, yeah the fools here are runnin'
|
| Me down
|
| Well I don’t need them around they got nothing on you, they got nothing on
|
| You no
|
| And the lady sings
|
| Oooooooooohhhh
|
| Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
|
| Oooooooooohhhh
|
| Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me
|
| For another dark place of misery
|
| But the fires burning and the winds they change
|
| I know I’ll see my friend again
|
| Oh my darling you have made me see
|
| There’s always a circus in town
|
| With the vultures, peacocks and hounds
|
| Well I don’t need that around, they got nothing on you, they got nothing
|
| On you no
|
| And the lady sings
|
| Oooooooooohhhh
|
| Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
|
| Oooooooooohhhh
|
| You see there’s always a circus in town
|
| With the vultures, peacocks and hounds
|
| Well I don’t need that around, they got nothing on you, they got nothing
|
| On you no
|
| And the lady sings
|
| Oooooooooohhhh
|
| Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
|
| Oooooooooohhhh
|
| And there she goes |
