lyrics

Ghost Boy - Thamatic - Lyrics:

VERSE ONE:

Stranded on the beach of Chicago
Mushroom memory and bought a one way ticket home
Oh boy where’d you go poppin’ zany bars
Oh boy where have you gone
So we packed a bowl oh no
Close by what was left of reality
And we smoked the whole damn bowl oh no

That’s when she said to me

VERSE TWO:

No boy, when you left
You became dead to everyone
No boyfriend, when you left
You became dead to me
No boy, when you left
You became dead to everyone
No boyfriend when you left
You became dead

CHORUS 1:

You became a ghost boy, whoa
You became a ghost boy, whoa
You became a ghost boy, whoa
You became a ghost

VERSE ONE: PART 2:

And after peaking she came down off the mountaintop
Mushroom memory, bought a one way ticket home
Oh girl where’d you go poppin zany bars
Oh girl where have you gone

VERSE TWO: PART 2:

No girl, when I left
I became dead to everyone
No girlfriend when I left
I became dead to you
No girl when I left
I became dead to everyone
No girlfriend when I left
I became dead

CHORUS 2 (Same as chorus 1) chorus 3 ending:

Ghost boy, whoa
You became a ghost boy, whoa
You became a ghost!
