Well I'm walking in spite of my days Taming women that don't wanna be tamed And I'm lying to all my very good friends And telling them I'm all okay
I spend time in a prison of sores Throwing punches that were often ignored But here I stand as a ghostly white man Laying alone on the floor
But don't you know I know it's not okay? I've nearly made it to the end of the road A long black road, will never be paved And I'm turning myself into a ghost again And I'm losing my mind, yeah I'm losing my mind And I'm turning myself into a ghost again
Well my friend went away to the sea She was a millionaire's bride to be And she wrote me a letter that said don’t forget her But she never returned to me Well yeah I guess I'm part of the cause That helped one more bird fall in love But here I stand as a ghostly white man Wondering where I belong
But don't you know I know it's not okay? I've nearly made it to the end of the road A long black road, will never be paved And I'm turning myself into a ghost again And baby if I could you know I would But all I've been doing ain't doing no good And I'm losing my mind, yeah I'm losing my mind And I'm turning myself into a ghost again
You got your gun to my head from the hill of high hopes You got two bullets left, where do you want them to go? I'm losing all of my family, I'm losing all of my friends Yeah they all talk about me like I'm some kind of dead man
But don't you know I know it's not ok? I've nearly made it to the end of the road A long black road, will never be paved And I'm turning myself into a ghost again And I'm losing my mind, yeah I'm losing my mind And I'm turning myself into a ghost again
