    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!

    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"
