Verse 1
I'll never let you down boy
I'll never let you go
Your subtle hint of life
Is so innocent and scary
So tell him that
you're here boy
She says as if she knows
When God took her with time
God made me quite alone
It's like the
universe has left me
without a place to go
Without a hint of lights
To watch the movement glow
when our song is slowly starting
The memory felt so real
At first against my will
But God invented chills
Chorus 1
yeah I saw your ghost tonight
The moment felt so real
If Your eyes stay right on mine
My wounds would start to heal
Post Chorus:
Verse 2
The kids are in a hurry
And I'm just full of fear
The lights make bodies blurry
It's getting hard
enough to hear
It's like the evidence is
cared for and evidently clear
If I never leave
this dance floor
Then I'll never
leave you here
Chorus 2
yeah I saw your ghost tonight
The moment felt so real
If Your eyes stay right on mine
My wounds would start to heal
I felt your ghost tonight
And God it felt like hell
To know you're almost mine
But dreams are all I feel
Interlude

Chorus 3
Yeah I, I Saw your ghost tonight
It fucking hurt like hell
I felt you here tonight
But dreams can't all be real
Yeah I, I Saw your ghost tonight
It fucking hurt like hell
I felt you here tonight
But dreams can't all be real

Tom's Very fast guitar tapping
like he did on Ava's Young London!!!
x2,
Verse 1
Tom:
I'm like a cat in a cage locked
up and battered and bruised
I am the prodigal son
a shameful prodigy too
I am the love of your life
battering ram and confused
I turn each day into night
I stand there waiting for you
There is desire to fight but
I have nothing to prove
With the crowd and some lights
I start to feel things move
Do you have something to hide?
Cause I think that we all do
I am a child inside back up
and give me some room
Chorus
Mark:
I'm just a bastard child
don't let it go to your head
I'm just a waste of your time
maybe I'm better off dead
They turn us loose in the night
a fucking Jekyll and Hyde
We'll have the time of our lives
although we're dying inside
So let me go go
So let me go go
Just let me go go
I'd rather go it alone
So let me go go
So let me go go
Just let me go go
I'm never coming home
Post Chorus: Tom's Guitar Tapping again
Verse 2
Tom:
Don't start to panic for me
cause I have nothing to lose
I am as bright as the sun
I burn up all that I choose
Up on the side of the field
I see a city with lights
I touch her face when I kneel
she tells me she's not alive
I am too nervous to run
the kids who scatter and hide
Still reach and grab for
someone but end up buried alive
Her world is waiting for me
a world that I rarely used
I start to feel my feet
they kick down walls as they move

your smoking tongue

fame and fortune
watching others tortured
casting your reflection
grocery store perfection

sent to the front line
with dirty boots on the ground
