Of Ghosts & Other Forms is a new electronic music/art project consisting of Benjamin Yellowitz, Fanel, Siân Herbert and James Collins.

“The song was first introduced to me at a time of change in personality - by a wonderful person whom I wasn't sure if I was a 'Paul' - the wildcard. Here's a window into the life of the clown in front of and behind the scenes”, Benjamin Yellowitz

LYRICS
Oh, the last time I saw Paul
I was horrible and almost let him in
But I stopped and caught the wall
And my mouth got dry, so all I did was
Take him for a spin

Yeah, we hopped inside my car
And I drove in circles 'round the freight train yard
And he turned the headlights off
Then he pulled the bottle out
And then he showed me what is love

I'll be your morning bright good night shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
I'll be a real tough cookie with the whisky breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the 'cause of our death

In the blossom of the months
I was sure that I'd get driven off with thought
So I swallowed all of it
As I realised there was no one who could kiss away my sh-t

I'll be your morning bright good night shadow machine
I'll be your record player baby if you know what I mean
I'll be a real tough cookie with the whisky breath
I'll be a killer and a thriller and the 'cause of our death

Well Paul, I know you said
That you'd take me any way I came or went
But I'll push you from my brain
See, you're gentle baby
I couldn't stay, I'd only bring you pain

I was your starry eyed lover and the one that you saw
I was your hurricane rider and the one that you'd call
We were just two moonshiners on the cusp of a breath
And I've been burning for you baby since the moment I left
