Lyrics

Verse 1:
I knew Geoff since he was 13 years old
We ran together till the demons took hold
He partied the week before he done himself in
Penned a note saying he’d run out of sins

Verse 2:
He left his belongings behind at my place
A scatter of clothes, a battered suitcase
The note said the suitcase goes to his mother
And everything else, don’t even bother

Pre-Chorus:
I’m trying to sleep but he’s out there thrashing
Crashing and banging, drinking and laughing
Singing and swinging till the dawn’s breaking light

Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Is dancing tonight

Verse 3:
Old habits die hard, weary bones need rest
I wake up to the smell of his cursed cigarettes
My wallet’s missing 20s and my liquor’s running low
Sometimes I swear that suitcase glows

Pre-Chorus:
I’m trying to sleep but he’s out there thrashing
Crashing and banging, drinking and laughing
Singing and swinging till the dawn’s breaking light

Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Is dancing tonight

Verse 4:
His mother ignored him all the time he was alive
But she plays that grief card now that Geoff has died
She came for the suitcase to see what’s inside
I heard that woman scream, and I heard that woman cry

Verse 5:
Did a son love his mother?
She left with no hope
Inside that suitcase
Was the last piece of rope

Pre-Chorus:
I’m trying to sleep but he’s out there thrashing
Crashing and banging, drinking and laughing
Singing and swinging till the dawn’s breaking light

Chorus:
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost is dancing
Ooh, ooh, ooh Geoff’s Ghost
Is dancing tonight
Is dancing tonight
