favorite ghost - Shrug

Substitute my sense of duty

For the twisted pawn-shop beauty

There’s no way to hide my crooked smile

Wrap it up in years of squalor

Cauterize with boiling water

Buried at the bottom of the dial

It’s down to flashes now

Temporary, very proud

Never loved you anyhow, almost

You’re my favorite ghost

Now the golden boy’s in trouble

Six survivors in the rubble

There’s no way to hide my chisel now

Seven seas are looking stormy

Ship of fools is headed for me

Fire warning shots across the bow

It’s down to flashes now

Temporary, very proud

Never loved you anyhow, almost

You’re my favorite ghost

We didn’t meet so much

As smack together

Like two wounded birds

I walk this bloodshot city

Hurt myself and

Choke on wasted words

Fifteen-hundred tons of smiles

Fifteen-hundred-thousand miles

There’s no way to hide my big mistake

Now it’s over, I feel better

Crush the flowers, burn the letters

Only hurts me when I’m fast awake

It’s down to flashes now

Temporary, very proud

Never loved you anyhow, almost

You’re my favorite ghost

You’re my favorite ghost

You’re my favorite ghost

You’re my favorite ghost

You’re my favorite
