lyrics

I found myself on the other side of the city

The truck had taller wheels than my bed

Her friend was drunk enough to be dead

What a trip, what a trip, what a trip we went on

There were shining lights and police sirens

I found myself on an ice patch near the mall

I didn’t feel safe at all

I stood on the road wondering who to call

What a trip, what a trip, what a trip to take

Sitting in a stairwell full of snakes

Please ghost, don’t look me in the eyes like that!

Why do you look so skinny?

Why do you look so dead?

Please ghost don’t look me in the eyes like that!

Why is your nose so bulbous?

Why do they act like they’re above us?

We found ourselves free from a pair of jerks

They taunted us to grief

They were white trash and looked like thieves

What a trip, what a trip, what a trip we took

Walking down a trail like a disney book

I found myself in the company of a friend

Her face was as darling as a gem

Delight grew once there were no more men

What a trip, what a trip, what a trip we had

Sharing all the reasons why we’re sad

Please ghost, don’t look me in the eyes like that!

Why do you look so skinny?

Why do you look so dead?

Please ghost don’t look me in the eyes like that!

Why is your nose so bulbous?

Why do they act like they’re above us?

Please ghost don’t look me in the eyes like that!

I contemplated how to breathe and thought of all the nice things you said instead
