You’re a white ghost 
On the corner 
Where is your 
Where is your mother 

You’re a white ghost 
On the corner 
Looks like you 
You need some water 

Aren’t you gonna thank me 
I fed you yesterday 
I fed you yesterday 

You left your sweetheart 
In a Roman parlor 
Where you gave the Good Word 
With wine and powder 

You gave thanks 
We ate and drank 
Then we walked the plank 
Down an ancient corridor 

Aren’t you gonna thank me 
I led you here yesterday 
I led you here yesterday 

You left your coat 
By an open coffin 
Where you buried a boy 
But you buried him often 

You left a sign 
By that open door 
Looked like a white ghost 
On the corner 

Aren’t you gonna thank me 
I saved you yesterday 
I saved you yesterday 

Aren’t you gonna thank me?
