Ghost of a Friend

The ghost of a friend came down to me singing, "Don't go back to misery"
She spread out her wings and said, "Listen to me
This ain't no place for you to be"
Oh, my darling you can set me free

So I packed up my sorrows and I followed her down to the West Way Road
Heading outta town
The grass is greener off the beaten track
So, come with me and we won't look back
Oh, my darling I could only try

Yeah, the clowns have taken the town
Yeah, the fools here are runnin' me down
Well, I don't need them around they got nothing on you
They got nothing on you, no

And the lady sings

Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me
For another dark place of misery
But the fires burning and the winds they change
I know I'll see my friend again
Oh, my darling you have made me see

That there's always a circus in town
With the vultures, peacocks and hounds
Well, I don't need that around, they got nothing on you
They got nothing on you, no

And the lady sings

You see there's always a circus in town
All the vultures, peacocks and hounds
Well, I don't need them around, they got nothing on you
They got nothing on you, no

And the lady sings

And there she goes
