Ghost on the street today
doorways of jackson square
in tinsel and tap shoes
mardi gras beads in her hair
'n down to the graveyard
she wrung out her hands
as if he will meet her
all day she stands
so don't leave me
-
and I know you're justified
so don't leave me
[n]
'cause a part of you, in me diiiiied
( - - - ) x3
we wish ourselves beautiful
'n we cry in the night
and it's not the love you feel
but the fall from the heights
my personal ledges
afraid to look down
my crepe paper bridges
and no water to drown
so don't leave me
-
and I know you're justified
so don't leave me
[n]
'cause a part of you, in me diiiiied
( - - - ) x3
and I see the lonely souls, searchin?
~ [n]
but before the heartbreak rose,
( - - - ) x4
draw the curtain
I'm a ghost on the streets today
surrounded by eyes
I feel them peer through me
and my harlequin disguise
if it makes you feel better
come join me a while
there's love in my open arms
there's love in my spirit smiles
so don't leave me
-
and I know you're justified
so don't leave me
[n]
'cause a part of you, in me diiiiied
( - - - ) x3
