Lyrics

Tombstones climbing up the sky
To claim the boredom in the whine of the radiator
To freeze the fates that intertwine
Unresolved and undefined in this echo chamber

Once you've given up the ghost
Just like Lazarus you'll know there's an operator
Some strange passenger inside
To that strange power I'm resigned like an iron anchor
I'm just a ghost in your stereo
The fading memory of a shipwreck in the undertow
You're just a lost song I wrote
And I'm just a ghost in your stereo
Ghost

You move on a thousand times
New lover's shadows on the blinds
Your heart's a mercenary
But like a dancer on the wire
Come the sparks of frayed desire as the fire's carried
I'm just a ghost in your stereo
The fading memory of a shipwreck in the undertow
You're just a lost song I wrote
And I'm just a ghost in your stereo
Ghost
