Ghost of Joy
Every day
I pry open strangers' mouths
Look down throats
No words at all
Hoard their stubs
Breathe in their smoke
Taste no tears
No laughs to spare
Every day
I gorge on plastic straws
To suck the warmth out of their lives
A wall of dreams divides them from the dead
Weight
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Mow the lawn, feed the kids
I was in arm's reach
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Wonder how you'll seize the day
Bound and gagged with my memory
Ghost of joy
Haunts your town
Leaving gifts
Ghost of joy has sealed all exits
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Mow the lawn, feed the kids
I was in arm's reach
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Wonder how you'll seize the day
Bound and gagged with my memory
Ghost!
Ghost of joy
Haunts your town
Leaving gifts
Ghost of joy has sealed all exits
I pry open strangers' mouths
Look down throats
No words at all
Hoard their stubs
Breathe in their smoke
Taste no tears
No laughs to spare
Every day
I gorge on plastic straws
To suck the warmth out of their lives
A wall of dreams divides them from the dead
Weight
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Mow the lawn, feed the kids
I was in arm's reach
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Wonder how you'll seize the day
Bound and gagged with my memory
Ghost of joy
Haunts your town
Leaving gifts
Ghost of joy has sealed all exits
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Mow the lawn, feed the kids
I was in arm's reach
Go to work, read the news
I was in arm's reach
Wonder how you'll seize the day
Bound and gagged with my memory
Ghost!
Ghost of joy
Haunts your town
Leaving gifts
Ghost of joy has sealed all exits
