I
ain't longing for
another shaken romance
Ain't partaking in some
revolutionary stance
I ain't trying to find some place to hide
I'm quite content on the outside
I ain't searching for a brand new sound I'm
quite happy with this one I've found
I'm just looking for the ghost,
the ghost of a chance
Just give me the ghost,
the ghost of a chance
Some people like to waste
each precious day
Viewing life through an alcoholic haze
Well, despite what you've been told or
think I never touch the demon drink
Cos I'm sound of body and of mind
And what's more, I'm witty and refined
So just give me the ghost,
the ghost of a chance
All I want is the ghost,
the ghost of a chance
I know you gave me credit,
credit where it's due
But if one of us is lying
Then the likelihood is, the likelihood is,
it's you
So don't write off what
you don't understand
So much power in such cruel,
unfeeling hands
And you'd like to think you sympathize,
but there's one thing you don't realize
That it's not enough to say you care,
and yet still be really unaware
That the people need the ghost,
the ghost of a chance
Everybody needs a ghost,
a ghost of a chance
Everybody needs a ghost,
ghost of a chance
Perhaps coupled with a
love -shaking romance
All the people need a ghost,
ghost of a chance
Ghost, ghost of a chance
Why don't you give me the
Ghost, ghost of a chance
Everybody needs the
Ghost, ghost of a chance
The ghost, the ghost of a chance
The ghost, the ghost of a chance
Just the ghost, the ghost of a chance
Just a ghost, a ghost of a chance
