An epidemic touch did you feel that A walk without a crutch, can I have it back The ghost came out of the closet Compared it's ectoplasm with daily life And it smelled of cynicism Reckoned it was still alive Now every night I must try to match it's stride Walk on by with blood red eyes Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Not captured just surrounded By the laser-guided Getting their money's worth Regressing to their time of birth Takes up lying again Makes a ghost of bottled spirits Now every night I must resist Drinking and what goes with it Walk on by with blood red eyes Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Where we stood in line Where we stood in line
