I know just what you want to hear

And you think that I wont tell

The hero in your latest story was bold but not so strong

But he smiled like me when you wrote your part

I think he portrayed me well

And he saved the day at the very end

Not for himself or the magic girl

He did it just for love

So you can go on listening

It’s not hard to figure out

That if I die before we’re through

I’ll come back as a ghost just for you

From underneath your bed

And when its dark you’ll hear me sing a song you know so well

They played it on the radio

We sang it to ourselves

And hummed all night till waking bells broke my dreams of you

We can stay in bed and just pretend we’re famous for a day.
