about

Song about missing the departed or imagining they're still with us.

lyrics

Every so often
It can't get out of bed
When being a survivor means
You ain't dead yet
In a world I never made
And it's still so demanding
There ain't trophy for being
The last man standing
I called your name last night and
You never answered
Was it your weren't listening
Was it the cancer?
I got
Ghosts on my shoulders
They sing to me, so I cry
I got these ghosts on my shoulders
Wish they were wings
So I could fly
Into the atmosphere
And we'd be near
And be born again


If I'd have known your memory would be so precious
Maybe I wouldn't have been
So contentious
But the fussing and the fighting over nothing at all
Over nothing at all
Made me wanna claw my eyes out
Or punch down the wall
Drunk and dope sick, always in pain
I'd go through it all to see you once again
And I got ghosts on my shoulders
They scream at me
From above the sky
I got ghosts on my shoulders
If I was a car, I could drive
Far away from here, just disappear and be born again

There's still shows to play
Don't go away
Next one's second set on a Saturday
Do you remember the changes to the one
I wrote about the waitresses son
We all used to date her
I'll remind you all later!


One of these days
I'll take the train
To a gig in town
Once again
With a Guild hollow body and a
Pignose Amp
Plug right in and play
In front of the bank
Where my favorite club, it used to stand
When I was on my way to bein'
Full grown man
I got
Ghosts on my shoulders
They sing to me, so I cry
I got these ghosts on my shoulders
Wish they were wings
So I could fly
Into the atmosphere
And we'd be near
And be born again

This is what happens when punk rockers get older, have babies and get a little consciousness--sometimes.
