Mortimer's Ghost Lyrics

Mortimer's ghost graduates today

First in his class and well on his way

The dry cleaning king of Baltimore's only kid

Thinks back on all the things he almost did

"I could've wrecked the car

I could have broke the law

I could've fell love with every girl I saw

But I didn't and I missed my chance to fail

And if I tried right now well I'd probably go to jail"

La la la la...look at me now

I've got it figured out

Life is a long conversation

And love is a call that never ends

Don't hang up the phone you're not alone

You're with me and I'm with you

And we're with friends

Mortimer's ghost calls me to confess

His job is a joke, his life meaningless

"They tell you what to do and make you walk the plank

Freedom's just another word for you owe the bank"

La la la la...look at me now

I've got it figured out

Life is a long conversation

And love is a call that never ends

Don't hang up the phone you're not alone

You're with me and I'm with you

And we're with friends

Buckled up in shirts and ties

Waiting for the downsize

You decorate your cubicle

You can't go out your schedules full

Got to get the kids at five

They're judging you by what you drive

Are they judging you by what you drive?

They judging you by what you drive!

La la la la...look at us now

Life is a long conversation

And love is a call that never ends
