GHOST OF A CHANCE song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

the unknown worship the living
with manifestations specifically
in visions and misgivings
translucent transcendentally

the rest of us barely believe
in phantoms spirits or in ghosts
a neuromancy once conceived
a lost soul on the whipping post

but I had a ghost of a chance
I had a ghost of a chance
before the unpaid exorcist
vanished in the mist

the spectres of the dead
appearing to me in the night
not easily dismissed
with certain sacrificial rites

the animists they have it good
they play with presences of smoke
the essences move in the wood
the afterlife a blooming joke

but I had a ghost of a chance
I had a ghost of a chance
until the demon lover wakes
and realizes his mistake

but I had a ghost of a chance
I had a ghost of a chance
I loved someone who wasn't there
until she vanished in thin air
