Lyrics

Ghost, ghost, I know you live within me, feel as you fly In thunderclouds above the city, into one that I Love with all that was left within me until we tore in two Now wings and rings and there're so many waiting here for you And she was born in a bottle-rocket in 1929 With wings that ringed around a socket right between her spine All drenched in milk and 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 Dee-dee, dee-dee Dee-dee, dee-dee Dee, dee-dee-dee, dee-dee Dee-dee, dee-dee And one day in New York City, baby, a girl fell from the sky From the top of a burning apartment building, 14 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 Dee-dee, dee-dee Dee-dee, dee-dee Dee, dee-dee-dee, dee-dee Dee-dee, dee-dee
