I've been looking around just to see your ghost
Marching to the clockwork
I was fooling around when I saw you first
Just a shadow in the crowd

I would ride you along to the warm old room
Caught you waiting for a taxi
In a winter night tell me where do you go
We're hanging in the sea road

Feel the days and the minutes comin' up slow
Lying in bed just waiting for the sun to go
Feeling I would just find you in the backdoor
Coming in flames and falling to the kitchen floor

I would follow your words loud and clear
My mouth was like a desert
Then I found you alone choking in tears
Did it feel so unreal

When I saw you come flying through the window
I saw you finally comin' out of my control
Come close and surround me in a cold storm
I ran burning insane to the corridor

Sent you away to that old ghost downtown
Where my eyes can't reach your face
Falling away, was I supposed to know
I would want you back again
Marching to the clockwork of my days

Marching to the clockwork
I've been looking around just to see your ghost
Marching to the clockwork
