Baseball Ghosts

I just signed the papers
 I resigned to verity
 I gotta precede my reputation
 Because it'll be the death of me
 I got one foot out of the apartment
 The other one's in my mouth
 Oh, to be honest with ya
 I don't think I got anything to talk, talk about
 I just wanna feel the night
 Like I used to, like I used to
 And outrun all this nervousness and just be the way I was
 Whaddaya say we wake up and
 Tie on a couple more
 We could make a list of our repercussions
 That we make from the night before
 Oh no, if I'm me I gotta say "fuck that"
 Cos that's what this city is for
 I got a growing hate for it
 I don't wanna do it no more
 Anymore
 I just wanna feel the night
 Like I used to, like I used to
 And outrun all this nervousness and just be the way I was
 The gates are closing
 And the stench is disgusting
 It's making me sick
 And the streetlights... I feel them flickering
 Might be hours before my head clears from the thick
 Maybe I need to do some magic
 So I disappear like a ghost
 Who's been haunted
 Who's been lost
 Who's been loved
 Who's been hunted
 Who's been rotten
 And he can't say he's sorry
 He's sorry
 For being the burden, the burden's hurtin'
