Ghost
by Neutral Milk Hotel
Ghost, ghost, I know you live within me, feel as you fly
In thunderclouds above the city, into one that I
Loved with all that was left within me till we tore in two,
Now wings and rings and there're so many waiting here for you...
And she was born in a bottlerocket, 1929,
With wings that ringed around a socket right between her spine
All drenched in milk in holy water pouring from the sky,
I know that she will live forever, she won't ever die,
And she goes and now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow into a hole where no one can escape,
De de de de de de, de de de de de de, de de de de de de, de de de...
And one day in New York City baby, a girl fell from the sky
From the top of a burning apartment building fourteen stories high,
And when her spirit left her body, how it split the sun!
I know that she will live forever, all goes on and on and on and
She goes, and now she knows she'll never be afraid
To watch the morning paper blow into a hole where no one can escape,
De de de de de de, de de de de de de, de de de de de de, de de de...
