Текст песни Josh Joplin - Mortimer's Ghost

Mortimer's ghost graduates today
First in his class and well on his way
The dry cleaning king of Baltimore's only kid
Thinks back on all the things he almost did

I could've wrecked the car
I could have broke the law
I could've fell love with every girl I saw

But I didn't and I missed my chance to fail
And if I tried right now well I'd probably go to jail
La la la la, look at me now

I've got it figured out
Life is a long conversation
And love is a call that never ends
Don't hang up the phone you're not alone
You're with me and I'm with you
And we're with friends

Mortimer's ghost calls me to confess
His job is a joke, his life meaningless
They tell you what to do and make you walk the plank
Freedom's just another word for you owe the bank
La la la la, look at me now

I've got it figured out
Life is a long conversation
And love is a call that never ends
Don't hang up the phone you're not alone
You're with me and I'm with you
And we're with friends

Buckled up in shirts and ties
Waiting for the downsize
You decorate your cubicle
You can't go out your schedules full

Got to get the kids at five
They're judging you by what you drive
They're judging you by what you drive
La la la la, look at us now

I've got it figured out
Life is a long conversation
And love is a call that never ends
Don't hang up the phone you're not alone
You're with me and I'm with you
And we're with friends
