I've been looking around just to see your ghost

Marching to the clockwork

I was fooling around when I saw you first

Just a shadow in the crowd

I would ride you along to the warm old room

Caught you waiting for a taxi

In a winter night tell me where do you go

We're hanging in the sea road

Feel the days and the minutes comin' up slow

Lying in bed just waiting for the sun to go

Feeling I would just find you in the backdoor

Coming in flames and falling to the kitchen floor

I would follow your words loud and clear

My mouth was like a desert

Then I found you alone choking in tears

Did it feel so unreal

When I saw you come flying through the window

I saw you finally comin' out of my control

Come close and surround me in a cold storm

I ran burning insane to the corridor

Sent you away to that old ghost downtown

Where my eyes can't reach your face

Falling away, was I supposed to know

I would want you back again

Marching to the clockwork of my days

Marching to the clockwork

I've been looking around just to see your ghost

Marching to the clockwork
