A young man lacking sense Sells his soul to circumstance His movements indecise He does not know that it will cost his life She's a harlot Boisterous and rebellious Her husband gone this father's daughter leads the young man to the slaughter In shadows you sleep Too careless to see The things that matter most (Ghost) (Ghost) So much that when you are faced with the truth You look like you've seen a ghost (Ghost) (Ghost) A young man lacking sense Pushes on to consequence He lives to feed his flesh The scavengers will clean up what is left She's a harlot Simple and persuasive With seduction she always gets her way Her bed will be his early grave In shadows you sleep Too careless to see The things that matter most (Ghost) (Ghost) So much that when you are faced with the truth You look like you've seen a ghost (Ghost) (Ghost) But I still know the shadows evidence the glow But I still know Ghost Ghost Ghost I'll only be your ghost I'll only be so close I'll only be your ghost Ghost In shadows we sleep I'll only be your ghost Too careless to see I'll only be so close When faced with the truth I'll only be your ghost
