The lights have been switched out
The party's over
The guests have all gone home
Now in these silent hours
That the night devours
Through the hallowed halls I roam
Once I was just like you
Substantial, whole and true
Able to influence
The passage of events
We lined up face to face
Stood two sword lengths apart
I ran the gauntlet
And they stabbed me through the heart
The world went cold
Now I'm the ghost of Westminster
How they must hate that wheel
So child-like and unreal
That mocks their constitution
With each revolution
Laws laid down through the years
Procedure and debate
The witchcraft of my peers
That left me in this state
The ghost of Westminster
So I am condemned
To walk beside the stinking Thames
Forgotten by my former friends
Who wave their papers and announce
The spirit has been driven out
And never more will haunt this house
But through the hollow night
I hold on to the hope
That I am still alive
And really they're the ghosts
The ghost of Westminster
