[Verse 1]

Well, you were finishing your novel in that dodgy motel room

When the gunshot went off next door and broke into the gloom

In the middle of the desert, brakelights screeching out of view

When you turned and saw the man who just got shot looked just like you

[Chorus]

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding in your body

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', siding from nobody

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody now

[Verse 2]

See that neon man go shooting through the sky

He's the author of the moment that became me when I died

And he just murdered all your neo-shamans

Now your kicked out of the garden

God smokes in thе void she mastered

Guеss your time is done, you bastard

[Chorus]

Ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding in your body

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody now

[Interlude]

Oh baby, come on down into my swamp

It's green everywhere, I know you'll like it, yeah

[Bridge]

Well, I called you from the payphone to win your Nobel prize

I stole it from Bob Dylan, man, and sprayed it in your eyes

It's a fucking royal rumble with all Carl Jung's archetypes

See Shakespeare's sonnets on the ropes about to 619

Well you look like Ziggy Stardust and you save like Jesus Christ

But you're no good in the bedroom, I just found out from your wife

In that aforementioned fit of pleasure, sent my devils out together

Playing with the secret treasure, writhing in the architecture

Presidents of parliaments and origami Vaticans

Hiding like they're harlequins and moulding us like mannequins

Master Maya let us in, the holy blood is in his pen

Zeitgeist dying perfect timing, when you find me I'll be

[Chorus]

Ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding in your body

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody

I'm ghostwritin', slidin', hiding from nobody now

[Outro]

Writing, sliding, in plain sight

Writing, sliding, your ballpoint eyes

Writing, sliding, weary life

Writing, sliding, hiding from nobody now
