Our Terrified Ghosts

from And Everything Was Perfect by Loren Radis

/

lyrics

I'll pour the shots if you're drinking
And we'll scare all our troubles away
It won't make us well but it'll help us fake it
And help voice all the things we can't say

But the words just stay tucked in our pockets
With the movie stubs and the keys to our cars
So instead we'll just listen to the music
And hum along to Between The Bars

I'll sing to the night and you'll listen
And pretend that I'm singing to you
A song about love and forgiveness
But those songs are just too good to be true

And Smokey Joe can yell from downstairs all he wants
Doesn't he know, there's nobody here but us
Terrified Ghosts in our bright colored robes
He says he's just trying to get him some sleep
So are we

You'll look at me and I'll smile
But we can't bear to say how we feel
And our friends have been asleep for quite a while
It's so late it's hard to tell just what's real

And I wonder if you'll dream about me
Or if your head's too full of tonic and gin
Well, there's always tomorrow to tell you
Always another day to bottle it in

No one's young as they used to be
But we'll hold on just as well as we can
Let's meet here the same time next week
We'll sing the night away all over again

And Our Terrified Ghosts can howl in our minds all they want
Don't they know that we can't be frightened
No longer alone with no place to call home
They're just trying to find some quiet and peace
So are we
So are we
So are we
