Select language to translate this lyric
Substitute my sense of duty
For the twisted pawn-shop beauty
There's no way to hide my crooked smile
Wrap it up in years of squalor
Cauterize with boiling water
Buried at the bottom of the dial
It's down to flashes now
Temporary, very proud
Never loved you anyhow, almost
You're my favorite ghost
Now the golden boy's in trouble
Six survivors in the rubble
There's no way to hide my chisel now
Seven seas are looking stormy
Ship of fools is headed for me
Fire warning shots across the bow
It's down to flashes now
Temporary, very proud
Never loved you anyhow, almost
You're my favorite ghost
We didn't meet so much
As smack together
Like two wounded birds
I walk this bloodshot city
Hurt myself and
Choke on wasted words
Fifteen-hundred tons of smiles
Fifteen-hundred-thousand miles
There's no way to hide my big mistake
Now it's over, I feel better
Crush the flowers, burn the letters
Only hurts me when I'm fast awake
It's down to flashes now
Temporary, very proud
Never loved you anyhow, almost
You're my favorite ghost
You're my favorite ghost
You're my favorite ghost
You're my favorite ghost
You're my favorite
