• I hung a sign outside my door
    please do not disturb
    but I guess the ghost can't read
    cause it's all it's been doing
    I pick myself up off the floor
    and find somewhere else to be
    but no matter where I go
    it seems to follow me
    I'm the only one it knows
    and the only one it visits
    I guess i'll invite it in for tea
    and have a proper visit

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

    How are you it asked
    I told it that it knew
    it questioned my reply saying
    how would I know of you
    I told it that it was
    all I could think of
    since no matter how I tried
    those thoughts wouldnt subside
    As it sipped from its cup
    I took a sip from mine
    It was all I could do
    to keep the silence alive

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Don't you see?
    There's more that you can be.
    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Don't be alarmed
    it isn't me that causes harm
    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Just keep on trying
    To dream without crying

    I know not why it came
    I don't why it chose me
    I don't if it knows either
    I don't know when this will end
    if it ever will
    I hope it doesn't see me
    if i stay perfectly still
    I just know that it keeps me
    from being who I want
    and living as I'm able
    there seems no end to this
    I'm a star in my own fable

    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Don't you see?
    There's more that you can be.
    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Don't be alarmed
    it isn't me that causes harm
    Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
    Just keep on trying
    To dream without crying

    I'll go to sleep today
    and maybe it will go away
    I'll try my luck this night
    and hope that I'll wake up all right
    I know it's not my mind
    that keeps the hope alive
    and hopefully my heart
    will try to do its part
    I'll go to sleep today
    I'll go to sleep today
    It should go away
    Why won't it go away

    As it put down its crumpet
    it told me what I could do
    to get rid of its holy ghost
    I told it to get lost
    and it told me to look at my tea
    there in my reflection
    i saw the ghost was me
    My tears mixed with the white tea
    and the ripples washed my face away
    I guess I have to do more
    than go to sleep today
    I hung a sign outside my door
    please do not disturb
    I guess I just can't read
    cause that's all I've been doing
