Written by: Jesse Sykes Spooky American Music BMI (adm by BMG)

lyrics

Some came here before us
And others still arrive
Some stand behind
The unmarked signs
Recognized from time to time

And everything is up for grabs
The spectral being's stark raving mad

In the tender part of the hologram
The lights went off and came on again

And I held you on the chordless line
Everything spinning inside

The underling that does without
The lethal punch that knocks you out

What binds us, we're all borrowing
And what was left, we've traded in
And who has the kindest face?
And where is the one I've loved so long?

So long...
So long...
