I'll tell you what happened, I was walkin' downtownMakin' somethin' for May Day, pounding the groundSome kid pulled a trigger, then I was dead'Cause that's what happens when a shotgun blows off your headI was just twenty-four, much too young to dieMy reason for living, I didn't know whyI had no time to show what my life could be worthNow I'm just another of all the ghosts that walk this earthYes, I wander the world and I see all the othersThe dead and forsaken, my sisters and brothersAll of us wondering what are we doing hereJust stuck on this planet for who knows how many yearsIn Auschwitz or Baghdad, it's always the sameForgotten and restless, no one calling our nameI visit my old friends, they make love and give birthWhile I'm just another of all the ghosts that walk this earthAnd I wish I could show you all the places I've beenWhere the flowers grow wild, where the napalm meets skinI wish I could trade it and be back in my lifeMaybe we'd live in China, maybe you'd be my wifeMaybe I would feel something, not just angry and sadAlways just wishing for the life that I hadI just watch you and your lover in such glorious mirthWhile I'm just another of all the ghosts that walk this earth From Letras Mania
