Why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you

That ain't no ghost - it's a reflection of you

Why do you turn away - an' keep it out of sight

Oh - don't live up to your given roles

There's more inside you that you won't show



But you keep it hidden just like everyone

You're scared to show you care - it'll make you vulnerable

So you wear that ghost around you for disguise



But there's no need just 'cos it's all we've known

There's more inside you that you haven't shown



So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet

Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat

Just keep on walking down never ending streets



One day you'll walk right out of this life

And then you'll wonder why you didn't try



To spread some loving all around

Old fashioned causes like that still stand

Gotta rid this prejudice that ties you down



How do you feel at the end of the day

Just like you've waked over your own grave



So why are you frightened - can't you see that it's you

At the moment there's nothing - so there's nothing to lose

Lift up your lonely heart and walk right on through
