Great Ghosts Lyrics

[00:32.99] I have my hopes of how I would be after living in exile
[00:43.06] after closing your eyes to me
[00:54.92] I even wrote scenes where I re-emerged boldly, bearded alive
[01:02.03] with eskimo eyes
[01:07.05] new baby on my back
[01:17.90] but I didn't count the fact that I have ghosts in my mind, stored away
[01:25.91] great ghosts of my life
[01:30.94] great ghosts of old wives
[01:35.90] and their howling
[01:41.94] so I spend my wilderness time, rolling on the ground
[01:48.02] pulling my hair and wrestling them of
[01:55.07] yelling at none, punching snow
[02:06.01] I gathered ghosts and gave them my lecture, bid them away, I pleaded and cried
[02:17.03] there's no room in my life for you or your howling
[02:28.02] let my undo these ropes and go on living without you
[02:35.13] not just change where I live
[02:42.11] go on get, I said
[02:51.14] I had my hopes of how I would be after sending them of
[03:00.18] after getting set free
[03:05.10] but there's no such thing as living without their prowling
[03:16.28] as you can see, having descended the hill
[03:21.28] I still look like me, I still wallow as Phil
[03:28.25] and forever will
[03:39.24] I'm teaming with ghosts and I still whining for wives, unkniting my brow
[03:47.39] but now I've surrendered
[03:52.34] In fact I've joined in
[03:56.31] You can hear us howling
[04:04.39]
