A Better Ghost Lyrics

A Better Ghost - Butcher Boy
from "React Or Die" Butcher-Boy.co.uk
E B F#m E B (repeat)
The children settle down so safe and sound, and when the mourning comes again I'm here
to hold your head.
But I can see you feather the nest with a dusty hope, you swoon and moan, there's water
in your
bones, so you can keep
a dresser full of sympathy, you're haunted by a better ghost than me. It's sad to see
you cry when we're so near.
Such happy pilgrims now, so safe and sound, and when the winter comes again I'm here to
hold your head.
But I can see we feather the nest with rust and soap, we coo and groan, there's magnets
in our
bones. so you can keep
a dresser full of baby teeth, you're haunted by a better ghost than me.
But take away the weight of where we've been and there'd be nothing left for us to talk about.
