Eels - Friendly Ghost lyrics

If you're scared of dying you better

Not be scared to live.

I've been spending all my days

Giving all I can give.

Last night I heard someone walking

Through my bedroom door.

What they want I'm not exactly sure.

Chorus:

A friendly ghost

Is all I need. (x2)

Working time on a broken watch

Countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone

And everyone's gonna leave me alone.

Two times I thought I heard someone

Knocking on the glass.

I hit my head and prayed that it would last.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better

Not be scared to live.

I've been carrying round a grudge

I think I better forgive

Last night I heard footsteps walking

On the attic floor.

Got up and I opened up the door.

Chorus

If you're scared of dying you better

Not be scared to live.

I've been spending all my days

Giving all I can give.
