I wanna go to the ocean
And send a postcard of my loneliness
Forgetting you is so elusive
I'd run away but it's always this
You're the only one I love
It's always been you
And I wish I was conscripted in the Merchant Marines
Shanghaied into service to sails and machines
Just to stay alive
Ohhh
And my sister keeps it simple she's a shipboard cook
She can drive a line, but if you take a look
She's kinda worried though
Ohhh
'Cause I keep hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
Hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
I'm always a ghost
I tried your gypsy table wrappings and your seance stunt
I keep an open mind but I think it's just a front
Wanna believe it though
Ohhh
My sister said, "Forget her boy, that's all that you need"
Pitching magical elixirs and bottles full of mead
For a broken heart
It's too late for that
So light 'em up boys, here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's why I lost you
Oh oh, let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
You're about as haunted as a darkened basement
I got all the chances of a dog in a settlement
I live by her secrets, she'll never tell
I ride along without 'em on a deep sea swell
I heard there's someone new and she starts to talk
She's the merry widow on the widow's walk
And the fear is I'm the one no matter where you are
In this twisted, fucked up film noir
And I'm hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
Hoping you will find me
I keep hoping you will find me
Yeah yeah
So light 'em up boys, here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's why I lost you
Oh oh, let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
I'm always a ghost
I'm always a ghost
I'm always a ghost
So light 'em up boys, here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's why I lost you
Oh oh, let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
So light 'em up boys, here's to your youth
Sing loud enough to tell the truth
I lost myself and that's why I lost you
Oh oh, let go of that whipping post
I'm always a ghost
