Holy Ghost People
(0.00 / 0 votes)A rainy night
On a cold downtown street
I pass by that caf
Where we used to meet
And as I walked by
He's giving his new
love that same ol'
I have to stop
She's pretty, it's true
And it looks like she's trying
real hard to please too
Oh, it's tempting to think
I should step in for her
I could tell her
just what he'll do
Someday he'll break your heart
Just the way he broke mine
I know that's assured
You're awake.
Who the f*** are you?
You left your wallet and keys
at the bar I work at.
You know,
after you got your ass kicked.
Catch.
Get the f*** out.
Ah, not a morning person?
No.
How about I get dressed first?
If you're gonna tell a story,
it's best to tell it
straight and true.
But what if the truth
ain't straight?
This here's the story
of two sisters torn apart.
The question is:
By what?Fate?
God?
Me?
Maybe.
I found him last night
outside the bar I work at.
Out here all alone
It's time for thinkin'
And dreamin' about
being gone
I call this song my own
I sing it for myself
Just a song before I go
And I remember
How many times we got
to keep doing this, Wayne?
Always trying to make me look
bad in front of my people.
Hey!
- Get off him!
- Step off, b*tch!
Hey, man, you all right?
Want me to call the cops?
Tell me what you want me to do.
Learn how to mind
your own f***ing business.
Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, oh
Ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah, oh
The story
really starts when I was 15...
and my mama got cancer.
One day we're all sittin'
around her hospital bed...
while they drained her blood out
like a bunch of mosquitoes.
Next it's just me and my sister...
figuring out the
world for ourselves.
Once upon a time, we could hide our
pain by slipping into a costume.
Liz, a princess,
and me, Wonder Girl.
But after Mama died,
things got complicated.
I could get high a dozen times
and stop whenever I wanted,
but for Liz,
it wasn't like that.
There's people you miss
when they're gone.
Then there's the people
that's so tangled up with you...
that losing them means cutting off a piece
of your own flesh right along with them.
You cut off
that much of yourself,
it's bound to leave
some scars.
Get in.
Thanks... for bringing
my sh*t back.
Not much I can really do with
See you around.
I'm Charlotte, by the way.
Come on, Shirley.
Ah, Jesus.
Hey!
I need a favor.
Hey!
I need to borrow your car.
No.
But, uh, that's what friends do.
They borrow things.
Oh, you have a friend now, huh?
- When did that happen?
- When I needed a car.
Get out.
Well, how about a ride?
Look, um,
my mom's not doing so good.
I need to go get my sister,
bring her home.
I'll pay you.
$200.
Everything I got.
Let's go.
Where we going?
Up Sugar Mountain.
After this, you can stop
coming around, okay?
Yeah.
Runnin' from the devil
'Cause running's all I know
Ran so far, I got lost
And so I ran some more
But the devil's
gainin' ground
So I'm runnin'
Yes, I'm runnin'
When you're alone in this world,
you learn
to find help anywhere,
any way you can,
including bending the truth
about your own dead mama.
Yes, I'm runnin'
The trick is to find someone who might
just be worse off than you are.
They're the ones
who've got nothing to lose.
I haven't seen or heard from Liz
in over a year.
Then a letter came in the mail.
that she was sober and living at
a church up on Sugar Mountain.
Needed me to come get her
right away.
Why?
She didn't say.
Just that she was scared
