Lyrics - Friendly Ghost by Eels

If you’re scared of dying 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 want
I’m not exactly sure.
Chorus:
A friendly ghost,
Is all
I need. (x2)
Working time on a broken watch,
Countin’ days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
And 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 last.
Chorus
If you’re scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I’ve been carrying round a grudge,
I think
I better forgive
Last night
I heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor.
Got up and
I opened up the door.
Chorus
If you’re scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
I’ve been spending all my days
Giving all
I can give.
