[00:18.26]
[00:23.18]On a misbegotten, moonless night
[00:27.83]I stumbled in my door
[00:32.13]Disgusted with my circumstance
[00:36.64]Soaked to every pore
[00:40.93]When floating from my bedroom
[00:45.04]Came a moaning and a sigh
[00:50.73]“Oh, I've had one too many
[00:55.38]It's just the wind,” says I
[01:09.31]I lit up a cigarette
[01:13.82]And I poured a good, stiff drink
[01:17.84]You see, I needed to compose myself
[01:22.73]I needed time to think
[01:26.64]No sooner had I settled down
[01:31.09]The moaning came again
[01:35.86]Drifting through the silence
[01:39.98]Like some otherworldly violin
[01:45.36]I bounded up the staircase
[01:49.41]I went slippin' and slidin' down the hall
[01:54.40]You know, I've been around the whole, wide world
[01:59.15]But I was not prepared at all
[02:03.78]Uninvited visitor, unsuspecting host
[02:12.95]“Well, I see you've made yourself at home.
[02:16.35]Good evening, Miss Ghost.”
[02:30.85]You're more beautiful than ever
[02:36.03]I feel just like a kid
[02:40.73]And I commence to trembling
[02:45.03]When I think of all the things we did
[02:49.51]Skin as pale as marble; lips as red as blood
[02:58.55]Imagine my surprise, my dear
[03:03.19]I thought that you were gone for good
[03:07.93]You look so lovely lying there
[03:11.76]All stretched out on your back
[03:16.41]But I'm the one who's strung up here
[03:21.25]On old temptation's rusty rack
[03:25.90]And in the wee small hours
[03:29.81]Is when I miss you the most
[03:34.31]And I confess it, I have missed you
[03:38.59]Miss Ghost
[03:48.12]I threw open the window
[03:51.42]And I howled at the rain
[03:57.65]And I cursed the weakness of the flesh
[04:02.70]This breath and bone—and this brute, reptilian brain
[04:29.59]What dirty tricks the mind can play
[04:34.02]In the lonely dead of night
[04:38.56]When you bump into the shadow
[04:42.90]Of a faded love that wasn't right
[04:47.40]Way down beneath the surface
[04:51.44]Far beyond the light of day
[04:56.19]So many things lie buried deep
[05:01.89]And baby, they should stay that way
[05:06.68]Oh, my wicked, little habit
[05:10.53]We've really made a mess
[05:15.56]Everything's been trivialized
[05:19.46]In our vain pursuit of happiness
[05:24.54]And even though you've come for me
[05:29.00]I won't go back with you
[05:33.71]To some temporary heaven
[05:37.69]Down some empty, dead-end avenue
[05:42.74]But it's been so good to have you here
[05:47.32]And I propose a toast
[05:50.37]“Here's to seeing through you—
[05:57.46]Miss Ghost.”
