Wise Up Ghost

[Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus 2] Wise Up When are you going to rise up? Wise Up Ghost Yield some sighs up Wise Up Ghost [Verse 1] Go on your merry way now if you must Fool's Gold turns rivets into rust Until you don't know who to trust Wise Up Ghost [Chorus 2] [Verse 2] Old woman living in a cardboard shoe Lost so many souls, she don't know what to do So, say your prayers because 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) [Chorus 2] [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus 2] [Verse 4] 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 [Chorus 2] [Chorus 1] [Chorus 2]
