lyrics

The city is so solemn after midnight.
On a day so lost in autumn it's unknown.
A silhouette is dancing in the streetlight.
The city's soul has flown out with the storm.

And you may ask me with a sympathetic voice,
How is it I came to here?
I'd tell you but I cannot hear you from the noise,
of the ghost living in my beer.

I had too many choices that I never chose.
I wanted only freedom, only truth.
I found myself so free,
but truth is full of complications.
So I left it lying back there in my youth.

And you may tell me like a vision from the past,
That the world is bright and clear.
And I should answer but I only hear the laugh,
of the ghost living in my beer.

And you can tell me you are right and I am wrong,
but I have nothing left to fear.
‘cause I am happy with myself and with my song,
and the ghost living my beer.

There's a ghost living in my beer.
