I'm a ghost to you now, I'm someone you don't really wish to see 
I'm a ghost to you now, a shadow since you turned your back on me 
Maybe you'll learn why it was I shook 
Baby your turn to wear the haunted look 

This ghost is here to stay 
I survived the blast 
Get ready, get ready to pay 
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past 
This ghost is here to stay 
He survived the blast 
Get ready, get ready to say 
I've found my niche at last
A prisoner of the past 

Anywhere that you go, I'm going to be the welcome there for you
Everywhere that you go, be certain that the table's set for two
Maybe you'll learn, there's nowhere you can go 
Baby you'll turn, as white, as white as snow 

This ghost is here to stay 
I survived the blast 
Get ready, get ready to pay 
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past 
This ghost is here to stay 
He survived the blast 
Get ready, get ready to say 
I've found my niche at last
A prisoner of the past 

This ghost is here to stay 
I survived the blast 
Get ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past
