You're a long way from heaven and you're headed the wrong way But I'm in no hurry and you're invited to stay Soak yourself in sacred oils, some things we do we don't have to say And talk of the good life is the last thing on our minds I'm slipping out again Gotta give up the ghost again I'm slipping out again Gotta give up the ghost again And we talk of bad things and drink to bad dreams 'Cause the cars are already crashed, flown off the bridge like bats Star-gazing out broken windows, become part of a ditch Turn into angelic dust, fly away like a witch
I'm slipping out again Gotta give up the ghost again I'm slipping out again Gotta give up the ghost again The ghost again Now the hours are slipping by into another day Time to hide from the outside, these fires outside ain't going away Let the flames shoot as high as I'm feeling today And nothing can put me out, it's already been tried I'm tripping out again Gotta give up the ghost again I'm tripping out again Gotta give up the ghost again Give up the ghost again...
