Friendly Ghost Songtext

von Eels

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.

Last night I heard someone walking
Through my bedroom door.
What they want I'm not exactly sure.

Chorus:
A friendly ghost,
Is all I need. (x2)

Working time on a broken watch,
Countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
And everyone's gonna leave me alone.

Two times I thought I heard someone
Knocking on the glass.
I hit my head and prayed that it would last.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been carrying round a grudge,
I think I better forgive

Last night I heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor.
Got up and I opened up the door.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I've been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.
