I Hope I'm Not Wrong, That'd Be Embarrassing

Interesting... I went to look up the lyrics for the song 'The Five Ghosts' by Stars and lo and behold, Google could not provide. Therefore, I'm going to attempt to write up the lyrics myself, despite the fact that I am notorious bad at mishearing lyrics.

The Five Ghosts by Stars

When I was a little girl
The world was small to me
All the light in my life
Filtered softly through the trees

The shadows in the photographs
Five ghost who followed me
I was only truly frightened once
They called my name and said they wanted me

Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Oh, how whole for one sweet second
Without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
x2

When I grew in age and fame
And traveled through the world
All the rivers of the city
Like flags of blue unfurled

Me, pressed against a railing
Me, taken to a room
Me, waking in the morning
Dark with a sense of coming doom

Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Oh, how whole for one sweet second
Without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
x2

Now I have grown old
And all my grace and beauty gone
Five ghosts surround my garden
I don't tell them to move on

I walk deeper into shade now
That dappled light again
I see you standing at the gate
My one and only friend

Oh, what a beautiful day to try to die
Oh, how whole for one sweet second
Without the eye, the eye, the eye, the eye
x2
