Ghosts Tell Human Stories

We're all good, we're all bad
We've all had a better time than you've ever had
We're all strange, we're all scared
We're all ready to go and ill-prepared
We're all mind, we're all heart
We're all in this together and worlds apart
We're all tough, we're all talk
We're all trying to run before we can walk

And we think we've got it down
We think we've got it down

And we're one big disaster
With nuclear weapons, hold for the laughter
Where days move slow but the years go faster
Working till we die unto the great hereafter
All for a little glory
That's why ghosts sit around and tell human stories

We're all here, we're all now
We're all a little crazy when it comes right down
We're all hurt, we're all healed
We're all praying that our better selves will be revealed
We're all home, we're all gone
And to find our way back, leave the lantern on
We're all low, we're all high
We're all dying to live and afraid to die

And we think we've got it down
We think we've got it down

And we're one big disaster
With nuclear weapons, hold for the laughter
Where days move slow but the years go faster
Working till we die unto the great hereafter
All for a little glory
That's why ghosts sit around and tell human stories

We're all lost, we're all found
We all take for granted what is still around
We're all smiles, we're all tears
We all miss the innocence of younger years
We're all wrong, we're all right
We're all living out a story on Saturday night
We're all faith, we're all doubt
Still trying to figure out just what this whole thing's about

And we think we've got it down
We think we've got it down

And we're one big disaster
With nuclear weapons, hold for the laughter
Where days move slow but the years go faster
Working till we die for the great hereafter
All for a little glory
That's why ghosts sit around and tell human stories
That's why ghosts sit around and tell human stories
That's why ghosts sit around and tell human stories
That's why ghosts sit around and tell human stories
