Ball Park Music – The Ghost I Saw When I Was Dreaming lyrics

[Verse 1]
The only figure I have seen is gone
A ghost I made up in my dreams last night
I toss and turn, I shake his hand
If briefer night's encounters that I myself am never full of
I mess my pants and call out for my folks
In hope that they'll explain this sickly joke
They know that I have never been a spiritual man
And I ain't got the time

[Chorus]
I trust my brain, I know it's in control
I have no fear of anything at all
It makes no sense when I'm looking through the lens
If that thing is a ghost, we should run, run, run
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 2]
And all the people I do love just left
I hear their feet stampede down all the steps
And trickle in my streets all made of stone
I see myself in the eye of the tornado
The Cadillac camaraderie's away from me
And all the people I have seen are just ghosts
I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore
I got a fishy feeling that I was bumped on the head
Sent straight to the bottom
With the latest of fashion: concrete shoes

[Chorus]
I trust my brain, I know it's in control
I have no fear of anything at all
It makes no sense when I'm looking through the lens
If that thing is a ghost, ah, we should probably run

[Bridge]
Forever's if there's nothing wrong
Say the words any old fool can hear
I don't wanna wreck his life, jeopardise his future
Run away to Mexico with his wife
I've got so much to tell you
I've got a story I bet you've never heard
About a ghost I saw when I was dreaming

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I trust my brain, I know it's in control
I have no fear of anything at all
It makes no sense when I'm looking through the lens
If that thing is a ghost, we should run, run, run
