The Charity Of Saint Elizabeth Lyrics by Sullivan

Hey, I’m a Ghost

0

Cold and fever wrap disease around your neck
Here's hemostats to stop the flow of blood
Summer freckles hide the roses on your cheeks
Does heaven keep a place for her inside?
Breathe until it freezes
Colors carry phantoms to theirs graves
What leaks in will seep out
The run-off from the gutter tells the story of our child
The message in the water
"The kids are going home tonight"
I know the voice of orderly all too well
"Call the parents on their cell phones"
You see, they need to get here right now
'Cause there is an angel in the place of the boy next door
"I'm afraid I've got some bad news"
Something's in this room tonight
Something's in this place and I'm right here waiting
And I'm right here
Something's in this room tonight
Death has found escape and I'm right here waiting
And I'm right here
Look under the bed
Look under the bed
Stop striking matches to disguise the smell
We all know, all day, all night, all we hear, is blue
Bouncing through the walls as Madre' Santiago takes a knee
And she screams to the fluorescents
All our lives for this one night
Our sleep can't hide from you
So take my dreams in place of me
I reach my hand to you
All our lives for this one night
Our sleep can't hide from you
So take my dreams in place of me
I reach my hand to you
Something's in this room tonight
Something's in this place and I'm right here waiting
And I'm right here
Something's in this room tonight
Death has found escape and I'm right here waiting
And I'm right here
Look under the bed
Look under the bed
Slip through the crack
A gathering of adults
White skirts, blue-green scrubs shaking their heads
Stop pointing your fingers and making your rounds
It's not going to be me
It's not going to be me
