These are the ghosts that I half believed
Guns & liquor & the carnival freak
But then one day the whole world shook
And I got arrested for stealin' a look

And the glad nation's death song sings X2
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing

Well they dragged me down to the deptor's jail
Where no one cried 'cause the drinks were free
And there I met you, you were in' the hat
Sayin' give to the memory of a long gone dream

And the glad nation's death song sings X2
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing

This is the sound of one hand clappin'
This is the sound of one man laughin'
Sayin' we are lucky, yeah lucky is us
'Cause behind these bars we've been stuck

And the glad nation's death song sings X4
And I wanna hear you sing
And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
