Hanging Over my Head

Waiting for something to happen
We're not in charge
The violence of old
Search through the pieces of love
She was an open book
Read her by candlelight
Genuine hardship
I need your help

The ghosts of yesterday
Hanging over my head

Burning the funeral pyre
Bodies pile higher and higher
Long live the butterfly
Holding this soul of mine
Drowning in the bathtub
I am with the judge
Topless dancing girl
Keep it together

The ghosts of yesterday
Hanging over my head

Knock me up, knock me down
The great chasm
Rowboat to heaven
Heading for the Styx
Didn't make the cut
Feel it in my gut
Treading through water
Rivers turned to blood

The ghosts of yesterday
Hanging over my head

Seven doctors said
Take some rest
You're bleeding
You're bleeding

Hurry to jump the queue
List of things to do
On the peak of change
Echoing in the rain
Leaving with the loot
Dying ain't that cute
Butterflies in her hair
Spirit in the air
