we strolled along
lost avenues
with no regrets

who's kidding who
so confident
so bold and full

not really a ghost in my house it just badly needs rewiring.
There’s a ghost in my house
That we can’t see
Moving things around
When we’re not here
Playing little tricks
On my memory
Playing little games

cause you to think twice
take away your fears
