Well you have control over every boys soul, make them forget about rock and roll
You drag them along and then as you pass you drop them cause they're in the way you're living to fast
The dark angels circle high up above while you damn the heavens cause you got no love
They circle like vultures to pluck out your soul, but all of this time you thought you were the one in control, in control

Years down the road from now you're sitting by the TV with a ghost and a memory
Watching your young self you like what you see, now it's just a ghost and a memory
Your life once was all you thought that it could be, you know it's just a ghost and a memory
Funniest thing of all what you miss most is me, but I'm just a ghost and a memory

The innocent snow it burns into ash while you sit alone letting intimacy crash
So you wander out into that cold dark night hoping to find someone to keep you alive
But the further out you wander in search of new heights the colder it gets and the dream seems less bright
The last glimmer of hope fades with the passing of the night, you begin to realize things might not turn out alright, alright

Years down the road from now you're sitting by the TV with a ghost and a memory
Watching your young self you like what you see, now it's just a ghost and a memory
Your life once was all you thought that it could be, now it's just a ghost and a memory
Funniest thing of all what you miss most is me, but I'm just a ghost and a memory

Years down the road from now you're sitting by the TV with a ghost and a memory
Watching your young self you like what you see, now it's just a ghost and a memory
Your life once was all you thought that it could be, now you know it's just a ghost and a memory
Funniest thing of all what you miss most is me, but I'm just a ghost and a memory
