An apparition in your condition
Has every right to expect some suspicion
And there's no gratitude in all this solitude
But still you wonder how I got this attitude
Your bloody hands and hollow eyes
Are just a part of your disguise
Your phantom tricks, they'll burn out quick
But not as fast as you

All my friends are ghosts and go away (go away, go away)
Fade and disappear more with each day (every day, every day)

It's not irrational to get emotional
People love to indulge the sensational
Don't blame society when you lie to me
Might be invisible but you ain't no piety
Shadow shapes, they walk through walls
The phone will ring, but there's no call
Times change, but still remain
The haunted rules of someone else's game

All my friends are ghosts and go away (go away, go away)
Fade and disappear more with each day (every day, every day)

Just take a look, you'll see right through
There's nothing more that I can do
All my friends are ghosts
I said, all my friends are ghosts
All my friends are ghosts... and go away

You don't have to hang around, make a move or make a sound
Lost your identity, transparency's all right by me

All my friends are ghosts and go away (go away, go away)
Fade and disappear more with each day (every day, every day)

Just take a look you'll see right through
There's nothing more that I can do

All my friends are ghosts
I said, all my friends are ghosts
All my friends are ghosts... and go away
