[Verse 1]

You were waiting for an answer

It was the hardest thing to hear

So strung out, eclipsed by shivers

Molleycoddled and sincere

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life

Stay with me and

Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight

[Chorus]

But don't you be so cold

[Verse 2]

You were waiting for elation

Like it would fall out of the sky

Maybe time's the greatest healer

But, baby, everything will die

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life

Stay with me and

Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight

[Chorus]

But don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

[Pre-Chorus]

It's a lonely life, a long and lonely life

Stay with me and

Be a ghost tonight, be a ghost tonight

[Chorus]

But don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold

Don't you be so cold
