i put a ghost of a smile on your face 
held on to your love in a crazy state of grace 
warmed myself in the phantom of your embrace 
oh what a beautiful haunting paper chase 

i found the book of you on the floor 
thought it was real im not sure anymore 
it was all there as if your heart held the pen 
from the very beginning to the scribbles in the end 

i knew where to go but i couldn't keep the pace 
and like everyone else i got caught in the maze 
so sad that nobody really knows of 
the work that we do in the name of love
