A Better Ghost Songtext
von Butcher Boy

The children settle down so safe and sound
And when the morning comes again
I′m here to hold your head
But I can see

You feather the nest with a dusty hole
You swoon and moan
There's water in your bones
So you can keep
A dresser full of sympathy
You′re haunted by a better ghost than me
It's sad to see you cry when we're so near


Such happy pilgrims now so safe and sound
And when the winter comes again
I′m here to hold your hand
But I can see

We feather the nest with a rusting soul
We cool and grow
There′s magnets in our bones
So you can keep
A dresser full of baby teeth
You're haunted by a better ghost than me

But take away the weight of where we′ve been
And there'd be nothing left for us to talk about
