Lyrics:
Brother, are you heeding him?
The package I received is gone
Are you a phantom detective?
Can you read my soul backwards?
I will glide with you
If you are a backwards ghost
I will hire you

Brother, are you really whole?
Holy as a blessed worm
Paradise ambassador, bring me to your room
I will throw you rocks today
Watch them pass right through you
Say this is not a game, a test
We both have done some grieving

Brother with your vast reward
A treasury you can afford
Surgeries and innocence abounds
And I have read in paper books
My eyes are glands on twisted hooks
Never have I felt or looked
So sorry for you now

Brother, are you trained to spy?
One eye open, one eye dry?
When I die, will you be my neighbor?
Tell me things I'd like to know
Dressing up from head to toe
Let them know to and fro
From here and tomorrow

Brother, are you heeding him?
The message I've received is gone
I hear a phantom detective
Can you read my soul backwards?
I will glide with you
If you are a backwards ghost
I will hire you
