Wise Up Ghost

Last lions roar before they're tamed

I stood out in the glorious reign

Knowing full well I can't go home again

Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up

When are you going to rise up

Wise Up Ghost

Yield some sighs up

Wise Up Ghost

Go on your merry way now if you must

Fool's Gold turns rivets into rust

'Til you don't know who to trust

Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up

When are you going to rise up

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Yield some sighs up Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Old woman living in a cardboard shoe

Lost so many souls she don't know what to do

So say your prayers 'cos down the stairs it's 1932

Wise Up Ghost

She revolves around a sparkling pole

Stares into the mirrored wall

Sees another woman walking through a market stall

She's pulling out the pin

Wise Up Ghost

She's pulling out the pin

Wise Up

When are you going to rise up

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Yield some sighs up Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Lost girl found on the radio

Down around Larado

Go direct to hell you murdering so-and-so

Wise Up Ghost

Trapped within a House of Feathers

Sitting in a Shirt of Wire

Howling at a Wall of Flowers

Saying "Wise Up Ghost"

Wise Up

When are you going to rise up

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Yield some sighs up Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

I walked along an iron pier

Where Rose's kisses turned to tears

Saltwater rushing over the pebbles under there

Wise Up Ghost

Last sigh of passion

Slipped into the room like an assassin

Glad tidings we bring

For you and your King

Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up

When are you going to rise up

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Yield some sighs up Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up Ghost Wise Up Ghost

Last lions roar before they're tamed

I stood out in the glorious reign

Knowing full well I can't go home again

Wise Up Ghost

Wise Up

When are you going to rise up

Wise Up Ghost

Yield some sighs up

Wise Up Ghost
