It comes at night, you know
G# A
The idiot sleeps and the idiot talks to the ether
G#
To the cold night air

Back with his child Can I be both wild and defeated
G#
What a cross to bear
Chorus

E
We Poor Ghosts we can be all alone
F#
Sat in the dark with one hand on the phone
A
And as the television spills the truth
G#
He thinks "My God, I've been wrong all these years
Here's the proof"

It happened more each day
G#
Soon be turning into dust
A
Said the idiot, "I must be a dreamer"
G#
Looking into the skies

When the Shields form an orderly queue
E
Slowing down to take in all the views
F#
And as the idiot looks then the idiot sees
A
So many eyes staring right back at me
Chorus
E
We Poor Ghosts we can be all alone
F#
Sat in the dark with one hand on the phone

And as the television spills the truth

He thinks "My God, I've been wrong all these years
Here's the proof"
