Ghosts

Why are you frightened
Can't you see that it's you?
That ain't no ghost
It's a reflection of you

Why do you turn away
An' keep it out of sight?
Oh, don't live up to your given roles
There's more inside you
That you won't show

But you keep it hidden
Just like everyone
You're scared to show you care
It'll make you vulnerable

So you wear that ghost
Around you for disguise
But there's no need just
'Cos it's all we've known
There's more inside you
That you haven't shown

So keep on moving, moving
Moving your feet
Keep on s-s-shuffling
To this ghost dance beat

Just keep on walking down
Never ending streets
One day you'll walk
Right out of this life
And then you'll wonder
Why you didn't try

To spread some loving all around
Old fashioned causes like that still stand
Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down
How do you feel at the end of the day?
Just like you've walked over your own grave

So why are you frightened
Can't you see that it's you?
At the moment there's nothing
So there's nothing to lose
Lift up your lonely heart
And walk right on through
