if you're scared to die
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 wanted I'm not exactly sure.
Chorus:
a friendly ghost,
is all I need. (x2)
marking time on a broken watch,
countin' days 'til the the old pawn shop
sells me back my saxophone
then 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 pass.
Chorus
if you're scared to die
you better not be scared to live.
i've been carrying 'round a grudge,
think I better forgive
last night I heard footsteps walking
on the attic floor.
i got up and I opened up the door.
Chorus
if you're scared to die
you better not be scared to live.
i've been spending all my days
giving all I can give.
