He was thinking in out
and started writing it down
the crazy thoughts in his head
he was on a roll
to find his self control
but it was taking it's toll
instead
meanwhile outside

Tuff Ghost lyrics


Tuff ghost, tuff crowd, tuff love
Sit down [X3]

and with a final thought
of this new glory he sought
he felt the time drawing near
so then he started to dress
he knew he wanted his best

A prize in a cracker jack 
A name that you won't get back 
Diamonds are a run around 
A game you can't win 
While you wait for your life to begin
