The Golden Glow

Welcome to the wonderful world of Ghostbaby

A shaved head don’t mean nothing, it’s the same skull underneath Get dressed up on Fridays, if that’s what you wanna be We’re all trying to minimise the misery If you forget what side you’re on, who gives a fuck there’s no right one God and drugs are the same thing, a veil to cover the nothing So just plug into the mainstream, cause no one’s better than me We’re all numb in the evenings and we all want the same things So wether it’s chemical or religious Ecstacy God and drugs are the same thing

Mother 02:30
My mother she was like no other she was me in my purest form Untouchable to me in my life fictional the golden glow from the case I will never know Cause of her shit luck I grew up without her magic touch and I don’t know if it fucked me up or cut me off because I don’t get what I’m meant to say when your eyes get wet what I’m meant to say when I’m busy thinking bout death She’s an old star out the movies to me like Marilyn Monroe but she looks like me or a photograph and that’s all that she’s ever been Oh mother mother mother ghost of my dreams this book that I’m reading is so obscene I wonder if you’d like it oh I wonder what books you read I wonder what films you have seen, I wonder if you were scared when you were 17 If you’d dig the songs that I play, if me and my friends act in similar ways, to you and your friends back in the day

You never cry, you just swallow oceans It’ll never die if you keep it inside Sometimes feels like every day is looking grey Just like always the clouds are gonna drift away Sunlight’s rare but it shines in such a beautiful way Might be raining but Don’s singing anyway And if you’re freaking out and the thorn in your side’s on the tip of the tongue of your mind, I’m kicking about just give us a shout But if you’re freaking out and the thorn in your side’s on the tip of the tongue of your mind, I’m kicking about just give us a shout just give us a shout Don’t fret get out of bed your head’s fried but so far it’s worked all right, when all is said you’re not dead yet there’s decades left of getting stoned in the sunshine Sometimes feels like every day is looking grey Just like always the clouds are gonna drift away Sunlight’s rare but it shines in such a beautiful way Might be raining but Don’s singing anyway And if you’re freaking out and the thorn in your side’s on the tip of the tongue of your mind, I’m kicking about just give us a shout But if you’re freaking out and the thorn in your side’s on the tip of the tongue of your mind I’m kicking about just give us a shout just give us a shout

Hole 02:40
Tend to find that the hole’s not really a hole it’s not an absence of space it’s what the human race can’t control part of your soul it’s never gonna go, never gonna go When you act like that you seem so set in your tracks I think you move too fast, do you like it like that? Or is it hardwired in, into your brain I think that you’re insane I think that you’re insane I think that you’ll go far, drive in fancy cars and fuck super stars and get pished in 5 star bars, and feel largely the same and still do council cocaine And get pissed off when the hole’s not filled cause you’re fucking old and you run on pills and things moved but you made fast bucks and you whisper to the Queen this fucking sucks (Alan Watts: “And we think we need all that, because we’ve been persuaded, by a certain kind of propaganda that’s how we aught to live, because we haven’t asked ourselves, wether that was what we really wanted.”)

Hey man what’s up? The whites of my eyes now match the whites of the walls And I descend into a cackling laugh for reasons I don’t know And I know it’s on me that I’m still stuck on the ground, no time for climbing the tree I’m busy fucking around And it’s not hard to believe that that is bringing me down, when all I do is bleed and make horrible sounds I talk to myself, I’m not depressed but I’ve lost every obsession bar argyle meth I’m a bodhisattva, no I’m not a bodhisattva, I didn’t really get that bit when I read it, but I liked the rest, and it makes you look cool to be well read If you’ve got something to say my head is deep in the ground, my flesh is starting to rot my teeth are all falling out From all the junk that I eat, my ears are bloody from the sounds, I’m getting dusty shoes I really gotta get out So don’t try and tell me that I’m doing it wrong, the fear that grips me every night does that on it’s own One day I’ll wake up in the evening with fragile bones having missed all the things I said I’d just postpone
7.
When it’s my turn to leave I’ll leave nothing but bones When my soul sheds it’s skin I’ll be battered and old But that’s the way it’s supposed to go
