DESCRIPTION:
Miserable Ghost
Alice Peacock/Jon Mcelroy/Pete Sallis

The voice in my head says
You'll never be good enough
You cry like a girl
Then you quit when the going gets tough

You don't have what it takes
You're a fool
you'll never go far
You can look in the mirror for hours
and not know who you are

Me and my cynical, critical, miserable ghost
Haunting me, taunting the part of me that misses it most
If she said goodbye
It'd be like taking the thorns off a rose
My miserable ghost

The older I get
The more I can tune it all out
Try to stay in the sun
And stay out of the shadows of doubt

Just when I think
I got you out from under my skin
You show up uninvited
And I always let you back in

Me and my cynical, critical, miserable ghost
Haunting me, taunting the part of me that misses it most
If she said goodbye
It'd be like taking the thorns off a rose
My miserable ghost

LIke an old broke down friend it's a pity we're tragically close
Me and my cynical, critical, miserable ghost
