'Cause I need something that can wash out the pain.
I keep going to the river to pray 'Cos I need something that can wash out the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
My friends I can figure out You're the soul that's inside of you It's rock hard in another you But your evil was coming through
These eyes sitting on the wall Well they watch every move I make Bright light taking in the shape You go hard, makes my spirit shake
I had to go through hell to prove I'm not insane Had to meet the devil just to know his name And that's when my love was burning Yeah it's still burning
I keep going to the river to pray 'Cos I need something that can wash out the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Give up the ghost Stall the haunting baby
Each time that I think you go I turn round and you're coping in And I let you another skin 'Cos I love living innocent
Oh you never told me True love was gonna hurt True pain, it's own desert True face that I never learnt
I keep going to the river to pray 'Cos I need something that can wash out the pain And at most I'm sleeping all these demons away But your ghost, the ghost of you It keeps me awake
