The ghost of a friend came down to me singing don't go back to misery
She spread out her wings and said listen to me
This aint no place for you to be
Oh my darling you can set me free
So I packed up my sorrows and I followed her down to the West Way Road
heading outta town
The gra** is greener off the beaten track
Come with me and we won't look back
Oh my darling I could only try
Yea the clowns here have taken the town, yeah the fools here are runnin'
me down
Well I don't need them around they got nothing on you, they got nothing on
you no
And the lady sings
Oooooooooohhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooohhhh
Now the ghost of a friend is leaving me
For another dark place of misery
But the fires burning and the winds they change
I know I'll see my friend again
Oh my darling you have made me see
There's always a circus in town
With the vultures, peaco*ks and hounds
Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you, they got nothing
on you no
And the lady sings
Oooooooooohhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooohhhh
You see there's always a circus in town
With the vultures, peaco*ks and hounds
Well I don't need that around, they got nothing on you, they got nothing
on you no
And the lady sings
Oooooooooohhhh
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooohhhh
And there she goes
