Ghost on the street today Doorways of Jackson Square In tinsel and tap shoes Mardi Gras beads in her hair Down to the graveyard She wrung out her hands As if he will meet her All day she stands So don't leave me And I know you're justified So don't leave me 'Cause a part of you in me died We wish ourselves beautiful We cry in the night And it's not the love you feared But the fall from the height My personal ledges Afraid to look down My crepe paper bridges Enough water to drown Chorus And I see the lonely souls Searchin' But before the heartbreak rose Draw the curtain I'm a ghost on the streets today Surrounded by eyes I feel them peer through me And my harlequin disguise If it makes you feel better Come join me the while And there's love in these open arms Some love in my spirits' smiles Chorus
