New Disaster

Lyrics

The ghost of your smile's always looking
 For new bodies to haunt
 And it's been here and disappeared
 It's hanging around aloofly for a while
 Gradually gone
 It's pleasing and freezing
 ♪
 Well, I wonder what it is you're after
 Keeping company with this disaster
 You looked all over town, got turned around
 To walk back through the mud
 The kind you had left behind you
 Everybody is the same in this long no-win game
 Where every new blood
 Gets time to become resigned
 ♪
 Now I wonder what it is you're after
 Keeping company with this disaster
 Why you never tried to tame your master?
 ♪
 You just blow through the coals
 Blow through the coals
 Blow through the coals
 'Til everyone knows that your smile is just a ghost
 The ghost of your smile was seen on a body in the park
 It's old news
 You see that it's no use
 Waiting to start, waiting to light
 Waiting 'til dark
 I told you, man
 I told you
 ♪
 Well, I wonder what it is you're after
 Keeping company with this disaster
 Why you never tried to tame your master?
