lyrics

E________________________B7sus4
I wonder if there's a place I can go
___________________A
where the winters won’t last forever
______________Am7
and they've never heard of snow
E_________________________B7sus4
And if you ever find your way there
_________________________A
Maybe you can find a place to dump my
___________Am7
ashes everywhere
D7_______________________Fm
All the ghosts keep on bummin’ around
_________________Cm
Thinking they can all dance forever
______C7
In this northern shithole town

I’d love to have a place by your side
But the universe is made to keep us
Here unsatisfied
It’s so lonely here in this ice
Even though it’s christmas time and
The stars are shining bright

All the wolves keep on bummin’ around
Thinking they can just cry forever
From their hole deep in the ground
And all the ghosts keep a singin’ along
Thinking they can just scream forever
Like they know the words to the song

All the devils keep on creepin’ about
No one wants to get sentimental
When they’re just popping pills into your mouth
All the ghosts keep on bummin’ around
Thinking they can just dance forever
And no one hears a sound

I’d love to find a place we can hide
Where’s there’s nothing but sandy beaches
And a warm sun on the tide

But all these ghosts keep on buggin’ around
wishin’ they were all going somewhere
When they’re all tied to the ground
And all these ghosts keep on flailing about
Thinking they can all dance forever
With no one calling them out
