if you're scared to die
you better not be scared to live.
i've been spending all my days
giving all I can give.

last night I heard someone walking
through my bedroom door.
what they wanted I'm not exactly sure.

Chorus:
a friendly ghost,
is all I need. (x2)

marking time on a broken watch,
countin' days 'til the the old pawn shop
sells me back my saxophone
then everyone's gonna leave me alone.

two times I thought I heard someone
knocking on the glass.
i hit my head and prayed that it would pass.

Chorus

if you're scared to die
you better not be scared to live.
i've been carrying 'round a grudge,
think I better forgive

last night I heard footsteps walking
on the attic floor.
i got up and I opened up the door.

Chorus

if you're scared to die
you better not be scared to live.
i've been spending all my days
giving all I can give.
