Ghost Songtext
von Momus

Up on a mountain, always alone, there stands a cherry tree
Down in the city, always alone, moves the ghost of me
I wouldn′t mind, it would be fine to be joined at the hip with you
But the waves crashed on the rocks and smashed the ship in two

The story, memento mori, stop and smell the flowers
Slack in the middle, trying to rekindle sexual superpowers
Crushed under glass, life going past like a subway crowd
I want to live all I can live, all that I'm all about
And if I recall anything at all, I recall this filthy moon
Orange and lonely, hollow and holy, with a junky spoon


And if it should happen that we never
Meet again, at least we had this week
We will recall this old hotel and this refreshing sea
Banging along ′til daylight arrives, the emptiness of night
All my doubts scuttling about and nothing ever feeling right
I want to live all I can live, all that life allows
Dragging the night into the light through the grizzling clouds

Mist in the valley, trains in the city, a hot day, sudden showers
Slack in the middle, trying to rekindle sexual superpowers

Up on a mountain, always alone, there stands a cherry tree
Down in the city, always alone, there moves the ghost of me
