eels - friendly ghost lyrics

if you're scared of dying you better
not be scared to live
i've been spending all my days
giving all i can give

last night i heard someone walking
through my bedroom door
what they want i'm not exactly sure

a friendly ghost
is all i need
a friendly ghost
is all i need

working time on a broken watch
countin' days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
and everyone's gonna leave me alone

two times i thought i heard someone
knocking on the glass
i hit my head and prayed that it would last

a friendly ghost
is all i need
a friendly ghost
is all i need

if you're scared of dying you better
not be scared to live
i've been carrying round a grudge
i think i better forgive

last night i heard footsteps walking
on the attic floor
got up and i opened up the door

a friendly ghost
is all i need
a friendly ghost
is all i need

if you're scared of dying you better
not be scared to live
i've been spending all my days
giving all i can give
