I'm a ghost and you all know itI'm singing songs and I ain't slowingIt was a fragile thing and I goddamn dropped itI picked the pieces up and put them in my pocketAnd I ain't gonna try and win your heart this timeI've had space to think and I think that I've grown a little wiserI'm looking for a new muse, you have only made me tiredCall your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my bloodThis is my loss of limb, my loss of loveCall your bluff up on the telephone and jam-jar my bloodThis is my loss of limb, my loss of loveIt was so cold you could see both sets of ribs almost escaping your skinTo fly south, south until the springtimeYour hips stood out like confidenceYou were naked as a newborn in the snow and you wanted it soThat's precisely how you wanted itAnd now your love is writing words on the wall with the meat of a nectarineThat she picked earlier that morning in the orchardAnd you are on the street, a chest of drawers, freeWhile the skeleton parade marches past youCarrying bird balloons, they fly backwards and forwardsThe streets can be eerie, streets can be drearyIt's as if leprosy, it landed on the moonAnd it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my roomIt's as if leprosy, it landed on the moonAnd it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my roomIt's as if leprosy, it landed on the moonAnd it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my roomIt's as if leprosy, it landed on the moonAnd it cast a filthy glow in the world and in my roomSo how about I play the harp and you play that pianoPull the curtains shut and nest like little sparrowsMy limbs, my love, are lost on youMy limbs, my love, belong to youI remember that night in the woods on the human balance beamMade of a long wooden board with a barrel underneathWe laid on either end and we couldn't quite knack it After many attempts and many minutes of silence, until we didAnd our breath caught and we looked upAnd the stars, they were so stillAnd the stars, they were so stillBoth our hearts, they were revealedOur hearts, they were revealedAnd you were my friendYou were my friendYou were my friendThis is my loss of love, my loss of limbYou were my friendThis is my loss of love, my loss of limbYou were my friendYou were my friendThis is my loss of love, my loss of limbYou were my friendYou were my friendBut nowI'm a ghost and you all know itI'm singing songs and I ain't stoppingMy hair grew long so I fucking cut itAnd when you looked awayI snuck those trimmings in your locketHa-ha-ha-ha-ha
