Jukebox The Ghost - Ghosts In Empty Houses Lyrics
In this country at any given time
There are two million empty houses
And one of them once was mine
There were twelve million spirits drifting
Waving their ghostly arms at the stars
And howling sad songs by the light of a crescent moon
Yeah they claw at the air and they scream
But they don't make a sound
Should've exercised the demons and their secrets
While they were 'round
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around
All our lives are drifting like ghosts inside and empty house
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell
In my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door
I can feel the tug of a thousand fingers
But what are the ghosts here for
They say:
Beware, be wary
Of secrets that you may keep
Cause if they're any indication of what sorrow brings you
Then don't take your demons to sleep
And if you take a little time
To think about yourself
You just might find that the
Direction that you're headed is closer to hell
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around
All our lives are drifting like ghosts inside and empty house
Everything is falling to pieces and its just as well
Cause every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell
So you might find yourself drifting
Like a ghosts inside empty house after empty house
Looking for someone but lately finding not a soul to tell

In this country at any given time
There are two million empty houses
And one of them once was mine
There were twelve million spirits drifting
In twelve million empty rooms
Waving their ghostly arms at the stars
And howling sad songs by the light of a crescent moon
Yeah they claw at the air and they scream
But they don't make a sound
Should've exercised the demons and their secrets
While they were 'round
Don't you think it's funny how quickly things can turn around
All our lives are drifting like ghosts inside and empty house
Everything is falling to pieces and its just as well
Because every little piece of heaven brings a little piece of hell
In my darkest hour when death is knocking at my door

Joe, Willy, and Patrick. Thank you for being my best friends ever.
This band is Amazing!!!11!!1
This sounds a bit like Belle and Sebastian-there's too much love, at some parts
one of the best songs under 100k views
This is my favorite Jukebox song. So rad. :)
do they remind you of the postal service or is it just me?
Why does this only have 15,000 views? This is awesome You have improved allot since you started. this deserves a Grammy At Least!
I was sent here by one of my best friends. She has officially converted me into a follower of this band
LOVE this song....... I've moved so many times in my life that this little gem I can
relate to so well, plus Jujkebox Ghost's lyrics are all usually right on!
I respect you guys for sharing your own songs on Youtube, and thus I've just bought the album on iTunes. Great stuff!
Yeah. I mistakenly wrote 2008 but I meant 2004. Though, the more I think about it, the more I think it was a combination of the tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and other similar events.
Fantastic
you guys gotta come play in belgium!
Are you referring to "The Stars?"
On their last album, they did a song that was pretty clearly about the 2008 tsunami. Is this a song about the housing bubble collapse?
P.S. Yes! MORE ! Get a good agent who knows what he's doin' for better promotion!
I moved like a gypsy in my youth and can understand where Jukebox is coming from.
They're lyrics on all their songs are awesome !
My Gawd, these guys are totally underrated.... their lyrics and diversity of songs are
indication that they know where it's at. Yes, I agree with MsStar28, they cause one to
soul search. Sometimes, though, one can understand the language of the soul just by
listening to bands like these.
Pop music these days is so easy to follow. and THIS music... this music makes you think deeper into your soul. Ya know? It's what music is SUPPOSED to do, it speaks to your soul in a language that you can't understand. Spectacular.
Oh My Gosh. *Drinks gallon of caffeine* "MY PRECIOUS. MY PRECIOUS."
i usually only like a few songs from each band/artist I hear, but I'm glad to say jukebox the ghost is one of few exceptions <3 a new artist to add to my list!
I am SO GLAD this is on an album now! :D
I'm pretty positive I've heard this track roughly recorded under JBG's old band name, Sunday Mail.
this band is true and pure
I swear, you guys deserve the Grammy for best everything ever.
*Slams fists on desk* I WANT MORE.
