Momus - Ghost lyrics

Up on the mountain, always alone
There stands a cherry tree
Down in the city, always alone
Moves the ghost of me
I wouldn't mind, it would be fine
To be joined at the hip with you
But the waves crash on rocks and
Smash the ship in two

Ghost story, memento mori
Stop and smell the flowers
Slack at the middle
Trying to rekindle sexual superpowers
Crushed under glass
Life going past like a subway crowd
I want to live all I can live
All that I'm allowed

And if I recall anything at all
I'll recall this filthy moon
Orange and lonely, hollow and holy
With a junky spoon
And if it should happen that we never meet
Again at least we had this week
We will recall this old hotel
This refreshing sleep

Lying alone 'til daylight arrives
The emptiness of night
All my doubts scuttling about and
Nothing ever feeling right

I want to live all I can live
All that life allows
Dragging the night into the light
Through the quisling clouds
Mist in the valley, trains in the city
A hot day's sudden showers
Slack at the middle
Trying to rekindle sexual superpowers

Up on a mountain, always alone
There stands a cherry tree
Down in the city, always alone
There moves the ghost of me
