Lyrics
I've been scraping the leaves from the gutters in my head
I've been watching the rain gather pools around my bed
If my body was a house, its inhabitants are dead
And their ghosts, they know exactly what I've said
Yes, their ghosts, they are singing about what I've said
The rich man, the poor man, they both learn to steal
The only difference that I find is the cut of the deal
I'll find a bottle and he'll find a fine meal
But their ghosts, they know exactly how I feel
Yes, their ghosts, they are singing about how I feel
And I'm talking to the devil like he grew up on my street
He's got a couple of friends that he'd like for me to meet
They're the spirits of my past and my present defeats
Yes, they're looking like something that I cant describe
Like thirty-six figures and a forty-five
Looking like they want to eat your man alive
I'd like to feel the water rising up past my toes
'Till my bodies held down by the weight of my clothes
I'd like to share this feeling with my baby down below
Where her ghost will linger, nobody knows
Yes, her ghost, it will linger with me I suppose
And I'm talking to the devil like he grew up on my street
He's got a couple of friends that he'd like for me to meet
They're the spirits of my past and my present defeats
Yes, they're looking like something that I cant describe
Like thirty-six figures and a forty-five
Looking like they want to eat your man alive
I deny my ghosts their rightful time down in hell
And I hide the fates of the pearly gates of heaven as well
Keep them chained tight to that old maypole
Where they dance and they sing in the company of my soul
They dance and they sing in the company of my soul
