A ghost in the town from where you came

Causing all who pass to know to please be safe?

And I won't keep quiet for the harm we've caused

And I don't have penance for the things I've done

A slow escape of all that's made

Our purest, stolen virtue

Like I need you

Wont bother me and, baby, won't bother you
