Like a Ghost

At the Place Pigalle I'm sitting in a chair
Waiting for some service, taking in the air
My life spins past as I'm thinking of you

The waitress comes up, I look her in the face
Say "Bring me something fit for the human race"
She doesn't hear a word, she looks right through

Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)

Twelve o'clock when the wine runs out
Go out on the balcony, hear someone shout
I look below - is that my body on the street?

Check the mirror, nobody home
I can't find a razor, can't find a comb
We've got to have a talk 'cause you're dressed in a sheet

Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)

Well I really start to worry when I stand in the queue
It's starting to pour and I don't know what to do
Funny thing is that I don't get wet

I hail a cab but he sails out of sight
What's my name, what's my age, what am I doing in this night
These questions and answers, I try but I forget

Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
At the Place Pigalle I'm sitting in a chair
Waiting for some service, taking in the air
My life spins past when I'm thinking of you

The waitress comes up, I look her in the face
Say "Bring me something fit for the human race"
She doesn't hear a word, she looks right through

Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)

Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
Like a ghost (take a look before I melt away)
