[Intro: Tico Torres]
One, two, three, four

[Verse 1]
Marry me to the blue sky
And bury me in that long last drop of hard rain
Meet me where they stop time
That's you to me on the shovel that's diggin' this grave
'Til I can waltz on a moonbeam
'Til I can find a way to turn all tears into wine
I'll hitch my ride to a daydream
You can't unkiss the lips that love is leavin' behind

[Chorus]
I ain't livin' with the ghost
No future livin' in the past
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't livin' with the ghost
How can I scream? I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain't livin' with the ghost

[Verse 2]
I set my sail over wheat fields
Rode waves of amber, let a new sun shine on my face
Put the cork down in my shield
I left your scars for the stars guidin' my way
I traded hurtin' for healin'
I must admit that I was reelin' but I'm feelin' just fine
Left your nightmares for dreamin'
Go tell your shadows that I got out alive
[Chorus]
I ain't livin' with the ghost
No future livin' in the past
I've seen what hurt has done to hope
I found the that tree, I cut that rope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't livin' with the ghost
How can I scream? I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain't livin' with the ghost
Aw

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Last night I had this dream
I saw this man wash his feet in the church holy water
He worked up to his knees
From his arms to his neck, said, "I'm in over my head"
He was cryin' tryna get some relief
He was just tryna get some relief
I had this dream
That man was me

[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I ain't livin' with the ghost
No future livin' in the past
I've seen what hate has done to hope
I cut the tree, I found that rope
Tomorrow wasn't built to last
I ain't livin' with the ghost
How can I scream? I'm scared to breathe
I wrote each word, you gave the toast
But we were fire and gasoline
I ain't livin' with the ghost
Ah
