Benson Hedges Lyrics

[Refrain]
Holy ghosts
When do you come out to play?
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me
He'd better start looking today

[Verse 1]
Last week my baby hit the slopes
While I spent the weekend setting traps in the road
I should have been cutting out my eyelids
You'll never guess what baby did when she got home
Home, na-na-na-na
Now at least the birds are singing to me
But what they're trying to say
I don't know

[Chorus]
(You're beautiful) I think they come from the cold
(For all your big mistakes) I think they come from the cold
(You stayed the same) To the city that doesn't snow

[Verse 2]
So I drove until we both broke down
I was stranded in a border town
Believing the motel TV would bring me to safety
But between MTV and Mr. O'Reilly
I've come to find, that I can't be defined
So I turned it off, now convinced I would cross
Took one last look at the gold as it shattered on a mountaintop
Now I believe the sun, it's like a symphony
But what it's trying to play, I don't know

[Chorus]
(You're beautiful) I think it's come from the cold
(For all your big mistakes) I think it's come from the cold
(You stayed the same) To the city that doesn't snow

[Refrain]
(Oh, come on) Holy ghosts
When do you come out to play?
'Cause if the Lord is gonna find me
He'd better start looking today

[Bridge]
So I can rise with the river
We all float before we sink
We pray for satellites, pray for courtesy
I pray that it can climb mountains to me!
I say goodbye to the canyon
I will set sail to the streets
Where I don't care to be forgiven
I want to be forgotten
I don't care to be forgiven when, Lord, I only want to be forgotten!
Singing "Oh, woah, oh-na-na-na, oh, woah, oh"
I'm singing "Oh, woah, oh-na-na-na, oh, woah, oh"
I'm singing "Oh, woah, oh-na-na-na, oh, woah, oh"
Oh-oh, na-na-na, oh-oh
Now I receive a call, it's from my family and what they started to say brought me home

[Chorus]
(You're beautiful) They think I'm beautiful
(For all your big mistakes) They think I'm beautiful
(You're beautiful) For all my big mistakes

[Outro]
For all my big mistakes
For all my big mistakes
