about

This is a bit of a tribute to the wonderful band Morphine and the late great Mark Sandman. Nowhere near as good as their stuff but no harm in trying.....................

lyrics

I’m looking from a window and I can’t see a tree
I’m in a desert city in the land of luxury
A woman in a fur coat is walkin’ up the street
She got the light in her eyes but she can’t see me

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

I arrive from the skies and float away untouched
To the heart of the star where all light is crushed
The sounds all around are the ones that I conduct
I’m the genius that was always overlooked

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

Float over Mexico
Float over Idaho
I float anywhere I want to go

I know a place – nobody knows
Where gravity rises and all time slows
The ground is so old that nothing grows
And the air is so cold that fire is froze

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

I float in the summer’s heat
I float over Downing Street
And I float where all the old ghosts meet

I gaze on the land – from way up high
I don’t understand – how I can fly
I got eyes so wide – there’s nowhere to hide
You can lock your doors but I can float inside

And I trail The Taliban
And I view the Vatican
And I piss in the Palace of Buckingham
