Generate meaning
1
On a misbegotten, moonless night
2
I stumbled in my door
3
Disgusted with my circumstance
4
Soaked to every pore
5
When floating from my bedroom
6
Came a moaning and a sigh
7
"Oh, I've had one too many
8
It's just the wind," says I
9
I lit up a cigarette
10
And I poured a good, stiff drink
11
You see, I needed to compose myself
12
I needed time to think
13
No sooner had I settled down
14
The moaning came again
15
Drifting through the silence
16
Like some otherworldly violin
17
I bounded up the staircase
18
I went slippin' and slidin' down the hall
19
You know, I've been around the whole, wide world
20
But I was not prepared at all
21
Uninvited visitor, unsuspecting host
22
"Well, I see you've made yourself at home.
23
Good evening, Miss Ghost."
24
You're more beautiful than ever
25
I feel just like a kid
26
And I commence to trembling
27
When I think of all the things we did
28
Skin as pale as marble; lips as red as blood
29
Imagine my surprise, my dear
30
I thought that you were gone for good
31
You look so lovely lying there
32
All stretched out on your back
33
But I'm the one who's strung up here
34
On old temptation's rusty rack
35
And in the wee small hours
36
Is when I miss you the most
37
And I confess it, I have missed you
38
Miss Ghost
39
I threw open the window
40
And I howled at the rain
41
And I cursed the weakness of the flesh
42
This breath and bone, and this brute, reptilian brain
43
What dirty tricks the mind can play
44
In the lonely dead of night
45
When you bump into the shadow
46
Of a faded love that wasn't right
47
Way down beneath the surface
48
Far beyond the light of day
49
So many things lie buried deep
50
And baby, they should stay that way
51
Oh, my wicked, little habit
52
We've really made a mess
53
Everything's been trivialized
54
In our vain pursuit of happiness
55
And even though you've come for me
56
I won't go back with you
57
To some temporary heaven
58
Down some empty, dead-end avenue
59
But it's been so good to have you here
60
And I propose a toast
61
"Here's to seeing through you,
62
Miss Ghost."
