lyrics

Every night I rise again,
to haunt the street with fair weather friends,
clean the house and pay the bills,
though my days are dead,
it’s the nights that kill.

Drift through the days and burn through the nights,
we can sleep, when we’re dead.
Barely alive in the dim bar light,
with my feet up over my head.

Dumb and drunk, the youth and his gaze,
cursing the yellow sky, numbering the days.
Freeing the cigarettes till there are none,
watching the heaving dogs, shudder and gone.

Drift through the days and burn through the nights,
we can sleep, when we’re dead.
Barely alive in the dim bar light,
with my feet up over my head.

about

East Ghost image

East Ghost Washington D.C., D.C.

Themes of distance, distortion, and a loss of connection with the people around us pervades much of their material; songs that reflect the feeling that we are surrounded yet separated, living a temporal, ghostly existence.
