Could they call your name much louder 
Those sirens on the shore
Arresting your attention
Standing easy by the door 
Deny them if you want to 
Defy them if you dare
Just when you thought you'd shelved them
In the cupboard marked 'Beware!'

Out of the then, Into the now 
Ghost who'll make the most of every morsel you'll allow them
Though we know you've changed so much since then
They'll get you in the end
They're your old girlfriends 

Do you think you could avoid them 
As you skim from page to page 
These permanent reminders
That you never act your age
There's traps in every dedication
Bombs in every drawer 
Strands of hair (Unfair! Unfair!) 
Now tripwires on the floor

Out of the then, Into the now
Ghosts who'll make the most of every morsel you'll allow them
Though we know you've changed so much since then 
They'll get you in the end
They're your old girlfriends
(Ladies from Hades)

There are habits that we cast aside
And ones we can't unlearn 
Some crap we do not deserve 
But most of it we earn
