lyrics

When you were born, you came out pins and needles
You lingered on your little fingers and scratched the vinyl feeble
Spinning circles for the clouds, however goes it goes
Chasing lips and pinching hips for all your purple prose
Flouncing fire flowers from your soul
Come by any hour and warm your bones
Ghost Boy you’ll never be home

When you began to grow, you cut your teeth on tombstones
You huddled your own mass and said you’d die alone
Breaking discs across your face, you bled into the turnstile
And jumped in front of toy trains to cry just for a while
Shouting darkened speeches you don’t even know
Freezing like the wind I felt you blow
Ghost Boy you’ll never be home

When you are grown, you’ll float down by the sea side
And sat on gnarled roots you’ll grin just like a riptide
Crooning broken record, your voice will crack and pop
And purple light as heather, right down below you’ll hop
Deep and blue and endless you shall be
Making love to the sky and married to the sea
Ghost Boy you’ll always be with me
Ghost Boy you will always be with me
