lyrics

Ghosts of the living Steve Roberts

With your lowcut neckline and your crucifix
No one ever told you that sex and god don’t mix
And I know what kind of tricks you get up to
When you really need a fix

I turn round you’re hanging on my sleeve
You don’t know how to come or when to leave
People turn their backs that’s why you can’t relax
Face to face with these unpleasant facts

Cause you’ve suffered cause you hurt
Cause you don’t know which way to turn
Cause you feel small cause you feel weak
You’re searching the sky for that winning streak

What’s that you’re saying about god
I’m not sure that he can be so good
He’s burnt into you like a shadow that can’t be broken
Like a word that can’t be unspoken

Why are you still talking to me about god
Look at these people under your feet
It’s not the ghosts of the dead
But the ghosts of the living that haunt these streets

Cause you’ve suffered cause you hurt
Cause you don’t know which way to turn
Cause you feel small cause you feel weak
You’re searching the sky for that winning streak

You need a god to harness to your dreams
Cause even reason’s not what it seems
But I defy you to look death in the eye
And not think twice about what your god means

It’s not the ghosts of the dead
But the ghosts of the living that haunt these streets
And everyone needs something
To help them to get to sleep
