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
