Dancing With the Ghosts
Embrace Immortality: Dancing Among Ghosts
Lyrics
Betty found you laying there through the fire
Betty discovered you amidst the flames.
In the smoke that came and took your life away
In the smoke that engulfed you, claiming your life.
Walking through the edge of your town while you're reeling it in
Walking on the outskirts of your town while you're processing it.
In the cold you're dead and trying to find your way
In the cold, lifeless state, attempting to find your way.
We're your new friends
We, the new friends, are here for you.
Here to take you home
Ready to guide you home.
Why don't you take some time and come on down our way?
Encouraging you to take some time and join us.
Come dancing with the ghosts
Inviting you to dance with the ghosts.
Come dancing in the rain
Encouraging a dance in the rain.
Come let your feelings go
Letting go of your emotions.
And wash your life away
To cleanse and wash away your life.
Come dancing with the ghosts
Repeating the invitation to dance with the ghosts.
Come dancing in the rain
Reiterating the suggestion to dance in the rain.
In the dawn you gravely watch them passing by
Observing them pass by in the dawn.
In the cold, you lay and squander hours away
In the cold, lying there, wasting hours.
You can hear them calling you now but you're hesitant to go
Hearing their calls but hesitating to join.
Saying you have other plans of dropping by your wake
Claiming other plans, mentioning visiting your own wake.
To see your family and friends
Expressing the desire to see family and friends.
And we'll blithely go
Accepting the inevitable and inviting you to join.
Meanwhile take some time and come on down our way
Asking you to take time and come our way.
Come dancing with the ghosts
Repeated invitation to dance with the ghosts.
Come dancing in the rain
Encouraging dancing in the rain once again.
Come let your feelings go
Repeating the idea of releasing your feelings.
And wash your life away
To wash away the burdens of life.
Come dancing with the ghosts
Reiterating the invitation to dance with the ghosts.
Come dancing in the rain
Once more, suggesting dancing in the rain.
Betty found you laying there through the fire
Reintroducing Betty finding you amidst the fire.
Saw your mates, but you can't shake the past away
Noting your friends but unable to shake the past.
Dollying through the Pasadena bars and hotels trying to see them
Moving through bars and hotels in Pasadena, trying to connect with them.
Stay contained within, and you'll become a castaway
Suggesting staying contained within, avoiding becoming a castaway.
Haunting all your friends and the ones you love
Warning against haunting loved ones.
Don't go, spare yourself a heartache
Advising against going to spare yourself heartache.
There's love and hate on this side
Highlighting the coexistence of love and hate.
Passions don't go away
Asserting that passions persist on this side.
Come enjoy immortality
Inviting you to enjoy immortality.
Dancing with the ghosts
Reiterating the theme of dancing with the ghosts.
Come dancing in the rain
Again, encouraging dancing in the rain.
Come let your feelings go
Repeating the idea of releasing your feelings.
And wash your life away
To wash away the burdens of life.
Come dancing with the ghosts
Once more, inviting you to dance with the ghosts.
Come dancing in the rain
Encouraging dancing in the rain again.
Come let your feelings go
Repeating the idea of releasing your feelings.
And wash your life away
To wash away the burdens of life.
And you can hear them calling you now
Emphasizing that you can hear them calling you now.
