Ghosts

Why are you frightened? Can't you see that it's you?

That ain't no ghost, it's a reflection of you

Why do you turn away and keep it out of sight?

Oh, don't live up to your given roles

There's more inside you that you won't show

But you keep it hidden, just like everyone

You're scared to show you care, make you vulnerable

So you wear that ghost around you for disguise

But there's no need just 'cause it's all we've known

There's more inside you that you haven't shown

So keep on movin', movin', movin' your feet

Keep on shuf-shuf-shufflin' to this ghost dance beat

Just keep on walkin' down never ending streets

One day you'll walk right out of this life

And then you'll wonder why you didn't try

To spread some lovin' all around

Old fashioned causes like that still stand

Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down

How do you feel at the end of the day?

Just like you've walked over your own grave

So why are you frightened? Can't you see that it's you

At the moment there's nothin', so there's nothing to lose

Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
