I wrote "Go Ghost Go!" after watching the documentary "Streetwise." I knew many of the people and got very ill in watching it over and over again and simultaneously giving birth to this song. [scroll down for lyrics]

Go Ghost Go!

The evil eyes open watching the city tonight
The weight of the ages in it’s pale light
Vision in the minds of all the damned
Lucid but blind as it were planned

An eye for an eye cannot be claimed
When all eyes are open now who’s to blame
An innocent convict’s a patient man
They still walk the streets of this doomed land with…

(Chorus)
Ghosts of the living, Ghosts of the dead
Ghosts ET.., al get out of my head
One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready now Go Ghost Go

The four winds bring foul memories
The Stench steals the mind in it’s cruel breeze
Liston (Sonny)didn’t care if he won or lost
Too many games got all the lines crossed

Heroes and villains are much the same
Jesus and Pilate played the same game
How could poor Sonny be either way
Is my prayer as we’re at the feet of (Cassius) Clay

Chorus

Sonny took a dive and I know why
You lose so much you don’t care if you die
Known so many like this tortured child
You’ll be in my heart as revolution runs wild

I want to beat the secret out of the guy
Who works them optics way up high
Put on a suit and sneak on through
And proceed to beat him black and blue

But he flicks the switch to pay the bills
Like the rest of the 20/20 shills
Sonny glows like an angel in my mind
For him someday peace I will find away from…

Ghosts of the living Ghosts of the dead
Ghosts et.., al get out of my head
One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready now go ghost go
One man big, ten men small
Ten men walking ten feet tall

Ghosts of the living, ghosts of the dead
Ghosts et.., al get out of my head
One for the money, two for the show
Three to get ready now go ghost go
Fat tin man, hardly weightless
(Mine and Your)Humanity’s gone like (Mike) Tyson’s greatness

They won’t leave this haunted domain
Of a twisted and tormented brain
Until I’m just like Dewayne
And the ghosts that drive me insane
So I guess I’ll watch Sonny again…
Over and over and over again.
