Ghost of your smile always looking for new bodies to haunt And it's been here And disappeared It's hanging around aloofly for a while, gradually gone It's pleasing And freezing While I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster You looked all over town, got turned around and walked back through the mud The kind you had left behind you Everybody's the same in this long knowing game Where every new blood gets time to become resigned Now I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why never try to tame your master You just blow through the coals Blow through the coals Blow through the coals till everyone knows That your smile is just a ghost The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park It's old news You see that it's no use Waiting to start, waiting to lie, wait until dark I told you man, I told you While I wonder what it is you're after Keeping company with this disaster Why you never try to tame your master
