Spirits and Ghosts

Tuxedomoon is an experimental, post-punk, New Wave band from San Francisco, California, United States. The band formed in the late 1970s at the beginning of the punk rock movement.

others some don't get through at all,whatever
happens is called fate.

When you live the night
You learn not to question
The spirits of ghosts
There's a series of doors

Your job is to pass through

Well sometimes you will make it

And sometimes
Well sometimes
Yeah sometimes
And swim anyway to a bank I know
