I've seen ghosts
They were dancing by the willow last night
Telling jokes
About a debt they still owe in a past life
Cartoons in the attic
The television just turned on all by itself
Cards strewn in the ashes
And playing noughts and crosses in the dust on the shelf
And I heard them singing like
I've seen ghosts
Tire swinging by the river last night
Heard them boast
Wires bringing flickers to the house light
Talk shows in the attic
The television just turned on all by itself
Poke holes in the fabric
Of all the dramatized tales I hear them telling themselves
