The Ghost I Saw When I Was Dreaming

Lyrics

[Verse 1] The only figure I have seen is gone A ghost I made up in my dreams last night I toss and turn, I shake his hand If briefer night's encounters that I myself am never full of, mmm [Verse 2] I mess my pants and call out for my folks In hope that they'll explain this sickly joke They know that I have never been a spiritual man And I ain't got the time [Chorus] I trust my brain, I know it's in control I have no fear of anything at all It makes no sense when I'm looking through the lens If that thing is a ghost, we should run, run, run Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah [Verse 3] And all the people I do love just left I hear their feet stampede down all the steps And trickle in my streets all made of stone I see myself in the eye of the tornado The Cadillac camaraderie's away from me [Verse 4] And all the people I have seen are just ghosts I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore I got a fishy feeling that I was bumped on the head Sent straight to the bottom With the latest of fashion: concrete shoes [Chorus] I trust my brain, I know it's in control I have no fear of anything at all It makes no sense when I'm looking through the lens If that thing is a ghost, ah, we should probably run [Bridge] Forever's if there's nothing wrong Say the words any old fool can hear I don't wanna wreck his life, jeopardise his future Run away to Mexico with his wife I've got so much to tell you I've got a story I bet you've never heard About a ghost I saw when I was dreaming [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] I trust my brain, I know it's in control I have no fear of anything at all It makes no sense when I'm looking through the lens If that thing is a ghost, we should run, run, run
