Broken Bells
"The Ghost Inside"

She sold her love to a modern man
Good solid currency's the hardest to love
All other modern hells you cover your eye
Don't let the lady finger blow your hat

Feel like a daughter
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor
She got no future just a love to endure
This good Samaritan shaking her hand
Too late to leave and now this song's in the car

Feel like a daughter
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

They call it chivalry
Never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on
This phony article
That put you on the floor
A double standard
You invoke when you want

Feel like a daughter
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside

Was it all for show
To turn into all of them
Turn another page
Trust me darling
I'm carving them up through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble
Just to sound me out
Tend to wonder why
