The Holy Ghost could get inside you You can do whatever you put your mind to Will you read me what you wrote? When we were locked outside the building Over-encouraged only children Cold coffee on the fire escape We bet it all on a demo tape when we still had something left to steal Remember when we took too much to get a little of the human touch Hand to mouth and reel to reel Are you still taking notes? Hydrocodone in your backpack Maybe these words will hold the beast back. Will you read me what you wrote? The one I said you stole from Dylan Over-encouraged only children Heaven's wasted on the dead That's what your mama said And the hearse was idling in the parking lot She said you thought the world of me and you were glad to see they finally let me be an astronaut. Are you still taking notes? Do you have anyone to talk to? Castle walls that you can walk through? Do the dead believe in ghosts? Or are you lost in some old building with over-encouraged only children?
