Not much of a ghostly comedian, really, but a ghost.

Lyrics

Ey Ghost, Let's Talk

Ey, Ghost

Do you think you are scary fooling around
by throwing all kinds of things to the ground?
Because I had a cat once I'm used to such flings
And I have no attachment to most of my things

My pictures are now hanging all upside down
Are you a magician playing a clown?
Some even look much better like this
And my visitors noticed nothing amiss

My clocks are running backwards now that is a feat
I am really impressed it's time that we meet
eye to eye, human and ghost
Let's see who scares the other the most

And maybe we don't need to act like cat and mouse
We might have more in common than only this house
Let's see if together we can have some fun
And maybe have all our rooms redone?

Ey, Ghost, let's talk!

aah, what a fun. I admire your creativity for the lyrics. 4 strophes full of colorful storytelling.

I too would be impressed by clocks running backward. But might not turn that into an invitation! Good change frommhavimg had a cat to being a cat.

"Some even look much better like this" : I have seen this kind of art.

It's fun to have a singer who is not impressed by the ghost's behaviour.

Haha! I love this. I love supernatural things and ghosts in particular, so just on the theme I was on board, but the writing was witty and clever and I'd love to hear this song come to... *ahem* life (sorry ghosties)
