[English]

I insist you’re no longer my lover

You passed out, and I didn’t even notice

I think I’m confused when I see your eyes

Freud would be very, very, very mad

So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so

Sorry, you’re gone

So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so

Deep in my mind

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but

(Lovely, lovely love) Just God, Mom, and myself

A host of a ghost

You’re a host of a ghost

You’re a host, you’re a host of a ghost

You’re a host of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but

(Lovely) Lovely, lovely, time’s nothing but (lovely time)

You’re a host of a ghost

You’re a host of a ghost

You’re a host of a ghost

You’re a host, oh-oh-oh

You’re a host of a ghost

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh of a ghost

You’re a host of a ghost, you’re a host of a ghost

Of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost, of a ghost
