The Ghost of Luke James

from Ridiculous Lengths by Luke Skyscraper James

/

lyrics

\Don’t know how I came to be wherever it is that I’m at
The whole thing is a mystery and baby that’s a fact
Was I betrayed by my best friend, is that how I met my end?
Or did my best girl turn me in for reward money and a bottle of gin?

‘Cos I’m the ghost of Luke James
Whatever they say I did, it weren’t me to blame
I’m the ghost of Luke James
Life after death just ain’t the same

I like to drink, I like to dance, love to make a pretty woman sigh
But being dead I can’t touch nobody, believe me I have tried
I float through doors, drift through walls, sometimes come up through the floor
I’ll kill your lights, I’ll stop your clock, but damned if I can do much more

‘Cos I’m the ghost of Luke James
There was a time when everybody knew my name
I’m the ghost of Luke James
Life after death just ain’t the same

Somebody recognized me in a dream, I have no idea what that means
All I know is I saw what I seen, somebody recognized me in a dream

The preacher man said that he could see it was fire and brimstone for me
Said that if I did not change my ways I’d be sorry at the end of my days
Can’t someone tell me where I’m supposed to be, is it heaven or hell for me
Hey Saint Peter wherever you be, come put me out my misery

'Cos I’m the ghost of Luke James
Life after death just ain’t the same
Yes I’m the ghost of Luke James
Life after death just ain’t the same.
