lyrics

It's how you know it's not working for you
Beside a nice view you are onto the next
Beside a nice body is it time to have sex
If it's not working then that's how you know

The ghost of everything is gonna haunt
Because that is just what good ghosts do
They're the reason you want what you want
Why what you’ve got you look right through

It's how you feel if something's wrong
A cute picture captured then add a cool filter
Acute observations but you are still off-kilter
If something's wrong then it's how you feel

Desire leaves all these
traces of energy behind
It's what makes malls
so spooky when empty
Desire lasts the longest
For things you don't find
On shelves or on stalls
Or discount to tempt you
