Your Ghost

Your Ghost – Kristin Hersh
 
If I walk down this hallway 
Tonight it's too quiet 
So I pad through the dark 
And call you on the phone 
Push your old numbers 
And let your house ring 
'Till I wake your ghost 
 
Let him walk down your hallway 
It's not this quiet 
Slide down your receiver 
Sprint across the wire 
Follow my number 
Slide into my hand 
 
It's the blaze across my nightgown 
It's the phone's ring 
 
I think last night 
you were driving circles around me 
 
I can't drink this coffee 
Till I put you in my closet 
Let him shoot me down 
Let him call me off 
I take it from his whisper

You're not that tough 
It's the blaze across my nightgown 
It's the phone's ring 
 
You were in my dream (I think last night) 

You were driving circles around me

Hand in my pocket - Alanis Morissette

I’m broke but I’m happy

I’m poor but I’m kind

I’m short but I’m healthy, yeah

I’m high but grounded

I’m sane but I’m overwhelmed

I’m lost but I’m hopeful, baby

And what it all comes down to

Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine

Coz I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one’s giving a high five

I feel drunk but I’m sober

I’m young and I’m underpaid

I’m tired but I’m working, yeah

I care but I’m restless

I’m here but I’m really gone

I’m wrong and I’m sorry, baby

And what it all comes down to

Is that everything’s gonna be quite all right

Coz I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one’s flicking a cigarette

And what it all comes down to

Is that I haven’t gotten it all figured out just yet

Coz I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one’s giving a peace sign

I’m free but I’m focused

I’m green but I’m wise

I’m hard but I’m friendly, baby

I’m sad but I’m laughing

I’m brave but I’m chicken shit

I’m sick but I’m pretty, baby

And what it all boils down to

Is that no one’s gonna figure it out just yet

Coz I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one’s playing a piano

And what it all comes down to

Is that everything’s gonna be fine, fine, fine

Coz I’ve got one hand in my pocket

And the other one’s hailing a taxi cab
