Ghost Is the Most

from Carkey Malarkey (Digital Deluxe) by Cark

/

about

I originally wrote this tune as a one-minute song for a proposed EP with a member of Puppeteers for Fears. It was going to be five rock songs in five minutes, and it was going to be called: "Lauren Taylor: Short and Loud." For anyone who knows her, that's a really funny album title.
The EP didn't happen. But I liked this song a lot, so I sent it to Dustin when we started on Carkey Malarkey and we stretched out the instrumental bits to make it more Cark-length (two minutes instead of one), including a lot of ghost moaning, which I have so far assumed Dustin made on purpose. Most of the "woohs!" and rock grunts I sang here were intentional anyhow.
Thunderchud, the pandemic band I started last year, also plays this one. So there may be another version of it coming some day--if we can ever stop burning through bass players anyhow. Until then though, this song is pretty sweet.

lyrics

I can dodge you in the streets
I can dodge you online
Make you take a number
Get back into the line

I can straight up disappear
Without an adios
Hate to break it to you honey
But my ghost is the most

Once I’m out the door
You ain’t gonna see me again
So if you want more
You best start talking

I can erase you from my life
Make the world forget your name
Just a little sleight of hand
In this emotional shell game

You will disappear silently
Instead of bellicose
Hate to break it to you honey
But my ghost is the most

Once I’m out the door
You ain’t gonna see me again
So if you want more
The clock is ticking
