there's a black ghost on my trail
won't go away, won't disappear
black ghost never fails to get his way

I'm going to run like hell
down the longest road
when I turn around he'll be waiting there I know
black ghost knows me well

out of my time
a troubled dreamer keeps calling
on someone or something
out of my mind
a troubled dreamer keeps looking
for something or someone to
free me
free me
let me go please

though I try to shake him free
I know that he's a part of me
black ghost living on he knows me well

out of my time
a troubled dreamer keeps calling
on someone or something
out of my mind
a troubled dreamer keeps looking
for something or someone to
free me
free me
let me go please
over and over and over again
and I know what I know
what I know what I know
it's done

he's coming down
he's with me now
black ghost by my side
he's with me now

there's a black ghost on my trail
won't go away won't disappear
black ghost never fails to get his way

though I try to shake him free
I know that he's a part of me
black ghost living on he knows me well

out of my time
a troubled dreamer keeps calling
on someone or something
out of my mind
a troubled dreamer keeps looking
for something or someone to
free me
free me
let me go please
over and over and over again
and I know what I know
what I know what I know
it's done

he's coming down
he's with me now
ghost coming down
black ghost by my side
