On the outside he was shining On the inside he was broke He did his best to hide it You'd never even know We were just becoming friends When he stepped off the bus He had a ghost inside him Invisible to us If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing Falling down a flight of stairs To make you smile He'd get up and laugh it off But he'd know the lie Once he said, "I hurt my self" But that was never hurt He had a ghost inside him Stealing every word If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing He was gone for a couple of days And then he reappeared With a dead set look on his face Cigarettes behind his ears We could tell that he was getting bad But nobody said a thing He had a ghost inside him That he could not contain If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing Standing in an orchard While the choir sings To find out why he'd done it You'd need a pair of wings And even though it taught him Just how much he was loved He had a ghost inside him That he had to give up If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing He wouldn't want anything else If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing Go on with yourself If you feel like dancing He wouldn't want anything else
