From the recording Circle Of Love
The lyrics describe a feeling of misfortune and betrayal, using imagery like waking up on the "wrong side of the bed," a black cat crossing the path, and a feeling like "Friday the 13th" with a full moon. The recurring theme is "I'm dancing with a ghost," suggesting a struggle with something intangible or a past event, and a sense that "nothing good can come of this" after being "betrayed by a kiss." The song encourages perseverance with the line "Hang on and make the most of dancing with a ghost."
Lyrics
IF I TELL YOU THE TRUTH
IT’LL MAKE YOU CRY
DO I SEND OR DELETE THE POST?
I CAN MAKE YOU SMILE
IF I TELL YOU A LIE
I’M DANCING WITH A GHOST
DANCING WITH A GHOST
SO DON’T GIVE UP
WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
I RUBBED MY EYES AND REALIZED
I WAS ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED
THE WRONG SIDE OF THE BED
WHEN I WENT OUT LATER
A BLACK CAT CROSSED MY PATH, I FACED THE WRATH
I SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT HOME INSTEAD
SHOULD HAVE STAYED AT HOME INSTEAD
NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THIS
I HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY A KISS
I’M DANCING WITH A GHOST
HANG ON AND MAKE THE MOST
OF DANCING WITH A GHOST
IT FELT LIKE FRIDAY THE 13TH
THE FULL MOON WAS HIGH, I HEARD A CRY
THAT SENT SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
SENT SHIVERS DOWN MY SPINE
NOTHING GOOD CAN COME OF THIS
I HAVE BEEN BETRAYED BY A KISS
I’M DANCING WITH A GHOST
HANG ON AND MAKE THE MOST
OF DANCING WITH A GHOST
