I met her at a funeral, she seemed pretty sad
Her skin was rather pale, but she looked damn good in black
She didn't mean to do so, but she caught and held my eye
And when I offered a shoulder, she held on tight and cried
I took her to a coffeeshop - hey, she fit right in
And listened to her philosiphize about death and sin
She protested when I settled the bill, but her smile made my day
And before she walked through the door I got directions to her grave
My girlfriend is a ghost, she is recently deceased
My mom doesn't approve and my priest thinks it's heresy
I don't really care, though, 'cause together we're happy
And as far as I'm concerned, we're both in heaven already
I had the perfect date with her just the other night
I made supper with my own hands and I treated her right
We curled up on my loveseat and we watched Poltergeist
But I can't remember a thing except her misty eyes
Carefully, shyly, she reached up, caressed my mind
And to this very day I can still feel her lips on mine
There's just one downside to her that I find so frustrating
I think I got to third base but I couldn't feel a thing
My girlfriend is a ghost, she is formerly living
She's taught me how to appreciate incorporeality
She walked out of the afterlife and stepped right into mine
Even death can't make us part, and that suits me just fine
One day, shopping downtown, I was lost in thoughts of love
Stepped into a crosswalk and was mowed down by a bus
The ground came up to meet me, wanted to be my friend
Then everything went pitch black and I knew this was the end
I saw a tunnel, long and dark, and I saw a light
And I knew it was her, that she was what shone so bright
And on my cheeks glistened tears of joy as I drew nigh
But as I drew near she took my hands and sadly closed her eyes
"I'm sorry, sweetie," she whispered, "it just isn't your time,"
"But when it is, I'll be here at the end of the line"
Then I woke up in a hospital, risen from the dead
And if I meet the doctor who saved my life I'm going to break his goddamn neck
My girlfriend is a ghost, she is living deprived
She may seem a little shy but I've seen who she is inside
Her heart may not beat but it's there for all to see
And I've got it all to myself for all of eternity
My girlfriend is a ghost, she is recently deceased
My mom doesn't approve and my priest thinks it's heresy
I don't really care, though, 'cause together we're happy
And as far as I'm concerned, we're both in heaven already |
