An apparition in your condition

Has every right to expect some suspicion

And there's no gratitude in all this solitude

But still you wonder how I got this attitude

Your bloody hands and hollow eyes

Are just a part of your disguise

Your phantom tricks, they'll burn out quick

But not as fast as you

All my friends are ghosts and go away (go away, go away)

Fade and disappear more with each day (every day, every day)

It's not irrational to get emotional

People love to indulge the sensational

Don't blame society when you lie to me

Might be invisible but you ain't no piety

Shadow shapes, they walk through walls

The phone will ring, but there's no call

Times change, but still remain

The haunted rules of someone else's game

All my friends are ghosts and go away (go away, go away)

Fade and disappear more with each day (every day, every day)

Just take a look, you'll see right through

There's nothing more that I can do

All my friends are ghosts

I said, all my friends are ghosts

All my friends are ghosts... and go away

You don't have to hang around, make a move or make a sound

Lost your identity, transparency's all right by me

All my friends are ghosts and go away (go away, go away)

Fade and disappear more with each day (every day, every day)

Just take a look you'll see right through

There's nothing more that I can do

All my friends are ghosts

I said, all my friends are ghosts

All my friends are ghosts... and go away
