Give Up The Ghost

Maryanne I’ve given up that ghost

that used to follow us around, back

in our hometown, to the desert from

city to town, apartment to home,

the one that whispered to you

and me that we’re never alone;

Maryanne I had to give it up

that lonely ghost that always

urged me back to you every

time we split up, I had to, you

know, I had to give that f****r up

because he was trying to eat

my bones, I was never alone;

Maryanne I always wish the best

for you but I had to give that

ghost up, I can’t live with these

gnawed bones between us,

I had to give up that ghost

and go it alone.
