The Ghost Of Ralph's Mom Lyrics

You wait there every evening
Till the morning light
I saw you on the ceiling
How could I even fight?

I saw you in the morning
About 3:55
I asked you what you wanted
You said you wanted to be alive

The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things stay the same, the more I go insane
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things stay the same, the more I go insane

You ran around my bedroom
And made me levitate
You pinned me to my bed
You forced me to stay awake

Haunted by the ghost of you
Each lonely night
I've tried to scream out loud
But the walls they closing tight

My heart beats faster
Twice as faster

And the more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things stay the same, the more I go insane
The more things change, the more they stay the same
The more things stay the same, the more I go insane

The more I go insane
The more I go insane

And made me levitate
You pinned me to my bed
You forced me to stay awake

Haunted by the ghost of you
Each lonely night
I've tried to scream out loud
But the walls they closing tight

My heart beats faster
Twice as faster

The more I go insane
The more I go insane

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Ralph was the band members' landlord when they all shared a place in Albany. The deal with his mom is that she's dead. Ralph eventually got booted from his house (and marriage) and moved into the garage of the place the band lived in. They got back from being away and he was all moved in. So the story goes, he was often naked and had a propensity to drink beers that weren't his. The house he owned was haunted - undoubtedly by the ghost of his mom.
