Ghost  on the street today
 doorways  of jackson square
in  tinsel and tap shoes
 mardi  gras beads in her hair
'n  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 diiiiied
 (  -  -  - )  x3
 we  wish ourselves beautiful
 'n  we cry in the night
and  it's not the love you feel
 but  the fall from the heights
my  personal ledges
 afraid  to look down
 my  crepe paper bridges
 and no  water to drown
 so don't leave  me
  and I know  you're justified
 so don't leave  me
 
  'cause a part of you, in me diiiiied
 (  -  -  - )  x3
 and I see  the lonely souls,  searchin?
~
  but before the heartbreak rose,
  (  -  -  - )  x4
  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 a while
 there's  love in my open arms
 there's  love in my spirit smiles
 so don't leave  me
  and I know  you're justified
 so don't leave  me
 
  'cause a part of you, in me diiiiied
 (  -  -  - )  x3
