Living without time
Never knowing where it goes, all the time
Only that you're facing some ghost of tomorrow
Chasing notes in your mind
A ghost
Living with a ghost
Never knowing where he goes with the ghost
Only that he's plucking the soul of your sorrow
As you live with the ghost
Give and give to the ghost
The ghost
And though you're waiting like that painting The Scream
As he pockets your pain for his act
Still you know that you're displayed in his dream
Like some monkey that's stuck on his back
But then, why would he look back
When he's got the whole world still to catch?
Got to feed the ghost
Always searching for some gift for the ghost
Knowing that he's raiding your soul for your sorrow
As they're raising a toast
To his raising the ghost
The ghost
And though you're waiting like that painting The Scream
As he never -- no, never -- comes back
Still, you know that he'll just keep chasing the dream
Of the thing no one dreams that he'll catch
But then, now, perhaps he has
Why then would he ever look back
Living without time
Never knowing where it goes, all the time
Only that you're facing some ghost of tomorrow
As it leaves you behind
Playing notes in your mind
Haunted by the ghost
Knowing you're the ghost
The ghost
