Andrew Bird - Faithless Ghost lyrics

I seen your face before
When I was waxin' the kitchen floor
Your features carved in the
Faux marble linoleum cicadas dronin' in the
Midsummer's lonely hum, ba ba ba ba

On this day, twenty years before
I heard the slammin' of the back screen door
I thought I was accustomed to big surprises
Until I met your faithless ghost

She takes a silver comb from her hair
Falls over her shoulders bare
Floatin' from room to room
And I was to be her groom oh, it ain't fair

Oh, my sweet entity
Why don't you come to visit me?
Instead, you taunt me
Listen, I want you to haunt mе (Ba ba ba ba)

In this, our shared history
Who gets to use thе apostrophe?
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises
Yeah, she's a faithless ghost
Lord, she's my faithless ghost

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na

She takes a silver comb from her hair
Falls over her shoulders bare
She's floatin' from room to room
And I was to be her groom oh, it ain't fair

Your worldly possessions don't mean
A thing to me
Only thing left within is sanctity

Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises
I thought I was accustomed to big surprises
Back door, kitchen floor, vapor rises
Yeah, she's a faithless ghost
Mm, she's my faithless ghost
Yeah, she is my faithless
I seen your face before
