Paroles de New Girl, Old Ghosts
My babe replaced me with a new girl I seeHer in
The mirror, not out of jealousy but rather similarity
Oh, does she know
That when he braids her hair she looks just like me, his last lady?
Or why the corn don’t grow
In the garden, she’ll dig and find teeth not seeds
‘Cause that’s where I sleep
She doesn't know
Why he’s got so many old ghosts
My babe’s got her pruning in the garden now, poppies
She scrapes the dirt from
Souls in her boots, the buried bodies
He never mеans it when he says he’s sorry
Whеn he finally blows
I pray she won’t forgive easily like me, that she can gnash her teeth
So she can throw
What’s left of him upon his pile of dirty laundry
As she wipes herself clean
After this new girl, there will be no more
Old ghosts
I wanna raise the dead just to play with his head
It’s a shame that he’d make her clean his mess up instead
I wanna set her free, and say she’s not alone
When her peripherals make him a devil
But I’m just an old ghost
‘Cause that’s where I sleep
She doesn't know
Why he’s got so many old ghosts
My babe’s got her pruning in the garden now, poppies
She scrapes the dirt from
Souls in her boots, the buried bodies
He never mеans it when he says he’s sorry
Whеn he finally blows
I pray she won’t forgive easily like me, that she can gnash her teeth
So she can throw
What’s left of him upon his pile of dirty laundry
As she wipes herself clean
After this new girl, there will be no more
Old ghosts
I wanna raise the dead just to play with his head
It’s a shame that he’d make her clean his mess up instead
I wanna set her free, and say she’s not alone
When her peripherals make him a devil
But I’m just an old ghost
