the ghosts of the living - kevin godley lyrics
strange how they haunt you
the ghosts of the living
strange how they wander around in your mind
they’ll never practice the art of forgiving
they’ll never learn to be kind
they’re always dying * to see you
to see you die
will they still haunt me
the ghosts of the living
after i die?
they are the only ones in focus
they are the ones that glow in the dark
first they catch you with laser beam eyes
then they cut you in half
god in his wisdom made it so
he made heaven out of things we know
and the closer you get to the stars
the more they look like buildings
strange how they haunt you * they’re in your blood
the ghosts of the living * under your skin
strange how they blunder around in your mind * they’ll never give in
they’ll never practice the art of forgiving
they’ll never learn to be kind * they’ll never learn
but when i get tired of blaming them
i’ll blame myself
every second * every second
every minute * every minute
and every hour until it’s done
cos i don’t know where to run to
and i don’t know where to hide * oh i don’t know where
and the ghosts know all my weaknesses and my failings
god in his wisdom made it so
he made darkness out of things that glow
and the closer you get to the buildings
the more they look like people you wish you didn’t know
god in his wisdom made it so
he made heaven out of things we know
and the closer you get to the stars
the more they look like buildings and cars
god in his wisdom made it so * every second
he made heaven out of things we know * every minute
and the closer you get to the stars
the more they look like demons in board rooms
god in his wisdom made it so * every hour
he made heaven out of things we know * every day
and the closer you get to the stars
the more they look like diamonds and p*rno and pills
god in his wisdom made it so * every week
he made heaven out of things we know * every year
and the closer you get to the stars * every lifetime
the more they look like bullet holes
