Ghosts |
Why are you frightened — can’t you see that it’s you |
That ain’t no ghost — it’s a reflection of you |
Why do you turn away — an' keep it out of sight |
Oh — don’t live up to your given roles |
There’s more inside you that you won’t show |
But you keep it hidden just like everyone |
You’re scared to show you care — it’ll make you vulnerable |
So you wear that ghost around you for disguise |
But there’s no need just 'cos it’s all we’ve known |
There’s more inside you that you haven’t shown |
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet |
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat |
Just keep on walking down never ending streets |
One day you’ll walk right out of this life |
And then you’ll wonder why you didn’t try |
To spread some loving all around |
Old fashioned causes like that still stand |
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down |
How do you feel at the end of the day |
Just like you’ve walked over your own grave |
So why are you frightened — can’t you see that it’s you |
At the moment there’s nothing — so there’s nothing to lose |
Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through |
