Ghosts
Go away, ghosts
Go far away
I don't want you in my dreams anymore

Helen, please don't cry to mother
Because I'll die, no

Please go away
Don't you run down the hall
Please don't you run
Go away down the hall

Please go away, down the hall
Don't you go
Down the hall

No, not one room is yours to claim
Without sound
Your soul is bound

By clanging chains
By clanging chains
By clanging chains

Ghosts
Ghosts
Ghosts
One minute you're a host
Standing there
And then bang, you're a ghost
Ghost

One minute you're the host
Standing there
And then bang
(Ghost)
You're just a ghost
You're just a gho—

Go away with your very own time and place
Let the ground in the earth forget your name

No, Helen, please don't cry
Before I die

Please go away
Don't you run down the hall
Please go away
Don't you run down the hall
Please don't you run
Please go down the hall

No, not one room is yours to claim
Without sound
Your soul is bound
By clanging chains
By clanging chains
By clanging chains

Ghosts
Ghosts
Ghosts

One minute you're a host
Standing there
And then bang, you're a ghost
(Ghost)

One second you're standing there
Like a host then it's bang
(Just a)
You're just a ghost

Just a ghost
Ghost
