Ghost Story - Charming Disaster

People bring me casseroles

And pray for his immortal soul

They think I’m in widow’s weeds

But pity’s the last thing I need

I dress in black and wear a veil

To hide bright eyes and skin so pale

And make sure that nobody sees

The marks of love my lover leaves

Since the day they told me he was gone

Haunts me faithfully from dusk till dawn

Hear him whisper sweetly in my ear

Can’t you see we got a good thing here

Feel his fingertips caress my hair

Turn around and there is nothing there

Phantom arms around me sleeping near

Can’t you see we got a good thing here

When some people pass away

They don’t reach the heaven that they prayed

Bitter about the fallacy

The afterlife turned out to be

They bitch and moan and hide your keys

Or talk to psychics on TV

They just groan and shake their chains

When I say my baby’s on the physical plane

When I died upon that cold cold night

Made a promise never leave her side

Now she knows that there’s nothing to fear

Can’t you see we got a good thing here

I run my fingers through her hair

She turns around and there’s nothing there

Wrap my arms around her sleeping near

Can’t you see we got a good thing here x2

My husband cooling in the ground, the worms crawl in and out

My lover’s disembodied soul makes me so happy now

When they drew their pistols and they fired each one shot

How could I have imagined this sweet bliss would be my lot

I used to be an angry man, I wanted things that weren’t mine

At fifteen paces in the sand I left that all behind

Now my spirits rise when she turns out the bedroom light

I gently haunt my lover in the cold and tender night

They try to comfort me with platitudes

They don’t know I’m in a real fine mood

There’s no reason I should shed one tear

Can’t you see we got a good thing here

Don’t talk to me of «death do us part»

Between us we share one beating heart

Candles flicker in the chandelier

Can’t you see we got a good thing here x 3
