lyrics

I am the downtown phantom king
you are the mystery in song
styx trickles from our toes
ghosts that find the way back home

fill these houses up with tales
of preternatural wails
the cold of our embrace
ghosts that find the way back home

we could be translucent on the opaque plain
a masterpiece melting in the rain
I'm gonna hold ya til death and back again

let's shrink to pinhole size
let's become unrevised
let's take forever for a moment
ghosts that find the way back home

wisps of nightmare kisses
grown up tears fall
the terror and the shine in childrens eyes
as they watch the moon rise
every night
I feel a smile
all the time

whether we both come back as cats
or a fish and bird in love
or the sound that shapes the fear
ghosts that find the way back home
