Lyrics

[00:20.100] She makes me so unsure of myself
[00:24.500] Standing there but never ever talking sense
[00:29.000] Just a visitor you see
[00:31.000] So much wanting to be seen
[00:34.100] She'd open up the doors and vaguely carry us away
[00:38.010] It's the customary thing to say or do
[00:42.030] To a disappointed proud man in his grief
[00:46.000] And on Fridays she'd be there
[00:49.010] But on Mondays not at all
[00:52.000] Just casually appearing from the clock across the hall
[00:56.030] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[01:00.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[01:05.100] I'm the church and I've come
[01:07.000] To claim you with my iron drum
[01:09.800] La la la la la la
[01:29.000] The Continent's just fallen in disgrace
[01:33.000] William William William Rogers put it in its place
[01:38.000] Blood and tears from old Japan
[01:40.500] Caravans and lots of jam and maids of honor
[01:44.300] singing crying singing tediously
[01:46.600] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[01:52.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[01:56.000] I'm the bishop and I've come
[01:59.000] To claim you with my iron drum
[02:00.700] La la la la la la
[02:52.000] Efficiency efficiency they say
[02:56.000] Get to know the date and tell the time of day
[03:00.000] As the crowds begin complaining
[03:03.800] How the Beaujolais is raining
[03:05.900] Down on darkened meetings on the Champs Elysee
[03:09.700] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[03:14.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[03:18.000] And I'm the church and I've come
[03:21.000] To claim you with my iron drum
[03:23.300] La la la la la la
[03:26.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[03:30.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[03:34.000] I'm the church and I've come
[03:37.000] To claim you with my iron drum
[03:39.000] La la la la la la
[03:41.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[03:45.300] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
[03:50.000] I'm the church and I've come
[03:53.000] To claim you with my iron drum
[03:54.700] La la la la la la
[03:58.000] You're a ghost la la la la la la la la la
