Artist: The White Stripes Album: Walking With A Ghost {2005}

No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."
I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."

No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind
I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."
I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."

I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
Out of my mind, out of my mind

I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."
I was walking with a ghost
I said, "Please, please don't insist."
No matter which way you go
No matter which way you stay
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
You're out of my mind, out of my mind
You're out of my mind

You fell down, of course 
And then you got up, of course and started over
Forgot my name, of course
You started to remember
Pretty tough to think about
The beginning of December
Pretty tough to think about
Pretty tough to think about, yeah, yeah
Pretty tough to think about

Yeah, you're looking down again
And then you look me over, oh
We're laying down again
On a blanket in the clover
Same boy you've always known
Well, I guess I haven't grown
Same boy you've always known
Same boy you've always known

Think of what the past did, it could've lasted
So put it in your basket
Hope you know a strong man who can lend you a hand
Lowering my casket

I thought this is just today
And soon you'd been returning, oh
The coldest blue ocean water
Cannot stop my heart and mind from burning, whoa
Everyone who's in the know says
That's exactly how it goes
And if there's anything good about me
I'm the only one who knows

I, I'm as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
And it makes me want to scream
When it's Halloween
And the kids are laughing at me
The Rogue is a bank, he's never broke
But worth as much as a joke
That no one is laughing at

Can you believe some things are not
Appealing and there's a spot
On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom
And could these dreams that you can't imagine
They'll never match the vision
That you had decided for me
You ought to take away from me
Things that are mine and it's not your right
Out that you wouldn't expect a fight
Can it be that I don't want what you want
But the only thing I could care for
Is a place in a home that is safe and warm
Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm, alright

You ought to take away from me
Things that are mine and it's not your right
Out that you wouldn't expect a fight
Can it be that I don't want what you want
Can it be so simple
Can it be so simple to me
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine
Can it be that I don't want what you want, that I don't want what you want
That I don't want what you want, that I don't want what you want

I, I'm as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
Out to be, out to be

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
Come on, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that our dance was all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with the fingers
Cos I'll tell everyone in the world
But he was thinking about the girl
Yeah, but he's thinking about the girl, oh

A lot of people get confused and they bruise
Real easy when it comes to love
They start putting on their shoes and walking out
And singing, "Boy, I think I had enough."
Just because she makes you feel wrong
But she don't mean to be mean or hurt you on purpose, boy
Take a tip and do yourself a little service
Take a mountain turn it into a mole
Just by playing a different role
Yeah, by playing a different role, oh

The boat, well, you know she's rockin' it
And the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it
The boat, well, you know there's no rockin' it
And the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it

So what, somebody left you in a rut
And wants to be the one who's in control
But the feeling that you're under can really make you wonder
How the hell she could be so cold
Now you're mad, denying the truth
And it's hidden in the wisdom in the back of your tooth
You need to spit it out in a telephone booth
While you call everyone that you know
And ask 'em, "Where do you think she goes?"
Oh, "Where do ya suppose she goes, oh?"

The boat, well, you know there's no rockin' it
And the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it, hey
The boat, well, you know there's no rockin' it
And the truth, well, you know there's no stoppin' it

You recognize with your back in the back
That it's colder when she rocks the boat
But it's the cause hittin' on the Cardinal Law
Bout the proper place to hang her coat
So to you, so to you
So to you the truth is still hidden
And the soul plays the role of a lost little kitten but
You should know that the dark is one kitten
She's been singin' it all along
But you were hearin' a different song
Yeah, you were hearin' a different song
But you were hearin' a different song

Tuesday morning, now
I gotta have somewhere to go, now
I callin' up Tommy, now
I call him on the telephone, yeah
Won't you wake up and come with me, now
I'm going to the pawn and loan, yeah
Walkin' down thirty three, yeah
I'm walkin' down thirty, oh yeah

Yeah, what am I supposed to think, yeah
Drop a nickel in the sink, yeah
I love people like a brother, now
But I'm not gonna be their mother, now
What if someone walked up to me and
Like an apple cut right through me then
I'm not just gonna stand there grinnin'
Cos I'm not the one who's sinnin'
Screwdriver

One, two, three, four

Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference between a father and a lover
Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference between a father and a lover
Women, listen to your mothers
Don't just succumb to the wishes of your brothers
Take a step back, take a look at one another
You need to know the difference

Now that you have heard our story, now
I got a little ending to it, now
Whenever you go out alone
Take a little dog a bone, yeah
Think about your little sister
Then you got to drive it home, yeah
Take it with a dollar bill
Sing it on a microphone, yeah

Got a little feeling goin', now
I got a little feeling goin', now
I got a little feeling goin', now
Meg's got a feeling goin', now
We got a little feeling goin', now
We got a little feeling goin', now
Got a little feeling goin', now
Got a little feeling goin', now
Got a little feeling goin', now
Got a little feeling goin', now
Got a little feeling goin', now
Got a little feeling goin'
Got a little feeling goin'
