Neutral Milk Hotel - Ghost lyrics

rate me

Ghost, ghost,

I know you were within me,

Feel as you fly

In thunderclouds above the city

Into one that I

Loved with all that was left within me

Till we tore in two,

Now wings and rings,

And there're so many waiting here for you.

And she was born in a bottle-rocket,

1929,

With wings that ring around a socket

Right between her spine

All drenched in milk in holy water pouring from the sky,

I know that she will live forever,

She won't ever die,

She goes,

And now she knows she'll never be afraid,

To watch the morning paper blow into a hole

where no one can escape,

De, de, de…..

And one day in New York City baby,

A girl fell from the sky,

From the top of a burning apartment building

fourteen stories high,

And when her spirit left her body,

How it split the sun!

I know that she will live forever

All goes on and on and on and

She goes,

And now she knows she'll never be afraid

To watch the morning paper blow into a hole

where no-one can escape,

De, de, de
