lyrics

Why do they say that “silence is golden”,
Then try to communicate with the dead?
I don't see how departees are beholden
To have a stop-and-chat once laid to rest.

Even in this life
I'm a pottering poltergeist.
Now watch me miss the point with all the grace
of the Hindenberg.

You'd never meet a nicer guy
Neither dead nor alive
In a hundred seances
with as many strangers.

Unfinished business might tug on the heartstrings,
Cloud over everything,
and swallow you whole.
Clutching at Ouija boards is an acute science,
That pays lip service to letting go.

Even in this life
I'm a poltergeist.
Now watch me miss the point,
and get my noise out of joint
Over something that some might find
Solace in in the darkest times.

You'd never meet a nicer guy
Neither dead nor alive
You'd never meet a nicer guy
Neither dead nor alive
You'd never meet a nicer guy
And believe you me I've tried
In a hundred seances (repeat until the reverb catches up with you)
