PAPERBOY - Ghost Songs


I'm like crackers and mustard only good when yer drunk
But I'm there all the time
Jus' sittin' inside
Waitin' on yer need for some hollow comfort now

I'm yer paper boy, peddling dignity 
You pay the price, I deliver charity
But I seen you red eyed and bleary
I’m as regular as chastity

I appreciate that smile I really do
But you know it aint the tactic I'd use
Coz you're fishing in some deeper water now

I awoke like I'd been punched in the nose
Walked for miles, just to stop the flow
Keep my head down as I wander around
Anyone would think I was lookin' for gold

Now words they fail yeh and words they lie
But words are all I've got this time
To let you know I'm sorry yeh my lady my life
To let you know I'm drowning in this tide

I appreciate that smile I really do
But you know it aint the tactic I'd use
Coz you're fishing in some deeper water now

We both know I'll die daydreaming
I won't see the bus
Screaming out my number man
Knocking me down, into the dust

I'd drag myself up now I confess
Coz the sun it shines outta the smile you possess
But I'm drowning in some deeper water now.
