Don't Haunt the Dream

I miss the pastiche poltergeist God left when he made it rain

The fragments of your touch on the right window that fog swept away

There's all the meaning you ate to hide

Left translucent inside your mind

If love's a lie, it's do or die, it's do or die

And all my life it's been

Wear all black to the meeting at the new affair

So rare, you're desperate for the prepared

Wonder at a separate life like mine

And inches from the blazing sun at all times

I've had enough of reaching in towards a soul you'll do without

Oh, it haunts me

Well, we're here, don't leave the engine running

Don't haunt the dream, just take my money

And promise me I'll see you in the morning

Oh, it haunts me

Well, we're here, don't leave the engine running

Don't haunt the dream, just take my money

And promise me I'll see you in the morning

Stuck in their old philosophies, no room for making a change

Crashing with the western economy

Drugged out, yet you think I'm deranged

Such well put together people, green eyes but they see no evil

The genocides, and suicides, and you and I, and you and I

Star struck among the faithless and the renegades

Headlights that blind from the interstate

Guiding us to cruel grips of time and fate

Holy things that don't stop us anyways

Got caught still trying to be someone

To the Gods of Nightclub, America

But you know I won't

Oh, it haunts me

Well, we're here, don't leave the engine running

Don't haunt the dream, just take my money

And promise me I'll see you in the morning

Oh, it haunts me

Well, we're here, don't leave the engine running

Don't haunt the dream, just take my money

And promise me I'll see you in the morning

So ghost if I'm your guest tonight, be gentle, give me a name

I can't keep living in your old photos just out of frame
