You don't know me 

but I know you 

I recognize you from my last life 

When I was a fool 

You are everything I wanted to be 

And you know everything I used to believe 



You don't walk a straight line 

Watch out for the land mines 

Take me from my manger 

God I love the danger in your eyes 

Could you blow out the light 

So... 



I see stars 

on the ceiling 

and butterfly wings on the walls 

And I'll hear Whitman 

crying through the cracks of the floor 

Is that the ghost of me? 



Yeah you own your own circus 

I wanna ride your merry-g0-round and round 

until I can remember my mission 

You can be my father now 

Take my confession 



I don't walk a straight line 

Lost you on a land mine 

I fell for a stranger 

But oh I loved the danger in his eyes 

when he started to cry 

And... 



We saw stars 

on the ceiling 

and butterfly wings on the walls 

And we heard Whitman 

crying through the cracks of the floor 

Is that the ghost of us dancing down the hall? 



You will see their hands raised 

Tell me who is due praise 

No one else can save you 

But God I love the questions in your eyes 

I wanna go there tonight 



We'll see stars 

on the ceiling 

and butterfly wings on the walls 

And we'll hear Whitman 

crying through the cracks of the floor 

Is that the ghost of me? 

Is that the ghost of me? 

Is that the ghost of me? 



I see stars 

on the ceiling
