Verse 1 The Ghostwriter makes his mark, signs his name in the dark – The Ghostwriter
The Ghostwriter works all day, gropes around, finds a way – The Ghostwriter
Bridge: So if you think you have something to say And you’d like to have it your own way (take it to…)
Chorus: The Ghostwriter fumbles through pages of other people’s Humble beginnings, their losses and winnings, ‘cos he Knows how to edit the truth underpinning your whole life – and maybe cut you like a knife
Verse 2 The Ghostwriter drops his pen in the sand then tries again – a lone rider
This Ghostwriter closes down, shuts his eyes and turns around – a fee finder Bridge Chorus
