Ghost of your smile is always looking for
New bodies to haunt
And it's been here, it is up here

He's hanging around and he'll float for a while
Gradually gone
It's pleasing and freezing


While I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster


You looked all over town, got turned around
To walk back through the mud

The kind you had left behind you
Everybody's the same in this long knowing game
Where every new blood gets time to become resigned


Now I wonder what it is you're after
Keeping company with this disaster

Why you never try to tame your master

You just blow through the coals

Blow through the coals
Till everyone knows
That your smile is just a ghost

The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park
It's old news, you see that it's no use


You're waiting to start, waiting to light
Wait until dark
I told you man

I told you

While I wonder what it is you're after

Keeping company with this disaster
Why you never try to tame your master
