Old Ghost from pre- by Toy Stilettos

can you hear them falling down?
black waves in the night
turning on themselves like empty threats

every year's a waltz away
old bones, medical grace
we're proper sinners gathered round the TV

can you hear them whispering?
in sharp tones like angry machines
through the bars the lonesome souls on their knees

want love

like an army of shadows, we fall apart and we falter
like a silhouette walking can swallow the author within
its just a ripple, barely there, old ghost

everyone throws them away
like toy trains, five dollar words
we turn the dials on their silver screens

they just wanted love

like an army of shadows, we fall apart and we falter
like a silhouette walking can swallow the author within
its just a ripple, barely there, old ghost
