Ronnie Spectre Lyrics

I wonder who you're gonna be when I'm gone

Freezing in those boots laced up tight

I'm gonna leave tomorrow night

I just might

If I can scrape together a few more bucks

Let me borrow it for the sake of your old friend

Who you swore you'd never sleep with again

And maybe I don't mind

Maybe I won't tell

Maybe I'll put all my foolish plans on the shelf

When the spectre comes to town

And sleep is just another stoned delight

As the bottle broke, I took another bite

And I should tell someone who I trust

Someone who I know

Someone who won't send me off to hell in a little rowboat

A show of hands, let's start anew

Forgive all the debt, and all the powder we blew

Yea, up our nose… yea up in smoke

Couldn't Handel that Messiah, something baroque

Let's make another plan

When that spectre comes to town

We could shuffle off our own separate ways

It's just decent if I know

How many times I've got to explain

To that specter on the phone

Who won't...won't let me go

Another shipwrecked deal with our own destiny

It's better than you - better than me

And I'd hang just to cut you the slack

On a midnight black

I dug my claws in and bore my back

Now fingers numb - gonna feel the slip

Wanna find your hand just to tighten my grip

And so much blood - yea, we both lost count

Are you praying for the flood to wash away the doubt

'Cause I'm a stranger…but I love you

And I know someday I'd finally destroy you

When the spectre comes to town
