about

Performed by Jimmy Smith

lyrics

I’m looking from a window and I can’t see a tree
I’m in a desert city in the land of luxury
A woman in a fur coat is walkin’ up the street
She got the light in her eyes but she can’t see me

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

I arrive from the skies and I float away untouched
To the heart of the stars where all light is crushed
All the night time sounds - I conduct
I’m the genius that was always overlooked

Float over Mexico
Float over Idaho (Cullercoats)
I float anywhere I want to go

I am – The Floating Ghost
I am – The Floating Ghost

I look down on this earth – from way up high
I don’t understand – how I can fly
I got eyes so wide – there ain’t no place to hide
You can lock your doors but I just float inside

I am the floating ghost
That no-one ever knows
And I go places no-one ever goes

Float in the summer heat
Float over Downing Street
I float in the places old ghosts meet

And I trail the Taliban
And I view the Vatican
And I piss in the Palace of Buckingham

I am – The Floating Ghost
I am – The Floating Ghost
