The first song to be recorded for the album, it still makes an occasional appearance in our live set. The melody was unconsciously stolen from a song so obscure that it's best if we just shut up about it right now! |
CD: Teenage Folklore
Label: Rooster Lollipop/(subliminal banana)
Credits: written by Brian Andrew Marek, produced and mixed by Mike Martin and Rocket Park, engineered by Mike Martin at the Broom Factory, mastered at Cry Rock Mastering, Memphis, TN |
Lyrics
the correspondence arrived
without a return address
familiar feminine script
invited me to a guess
tea kettle steam unlocked the prize
a letter meant for other eyes
apologies of swallowed pride
signed first name only by the bride
but a letter from a ghost
can't haunt a peaceful mind
"you probably think I'm a bitch
but you can't really be blamed
I've found a husband," she said,
left him discretely unnamed
"he's everything that I've dream of
I'd die if someone took his love
I'd hate for anyone to do
to me what I once did to you"
but a letter from a ghost
can't haunt a peaceful mind
you're wondering what I'm feeling at this moment
I find that I am wondering the same
but take this as a half-assed sort of answer
and not a complication to the game
I sealed it carefully up
with a thin layer of glue
so later on that same day
it could be opened anew
I feigned surprise when it was read
my girlfriend turned to me and said,
"she's trying to get beneath your skin,"
and I replied, "if so, I win,
'cos a letter from a ghost
can't haunt a peaceful mind"
