Cover art for Life lyrics by Des'ree

"I don't wanna see a ghost It's the sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast Watch the evening news"

i think this simply means... she'd rather do something boring like watching the evening news..rather than see a ghost... just to interpret how scared she is of ghosts...

Song Meaning

So it's a bit like "I'd rather watch paint dry". But it's a little less harsh - so we don't know whether she would still choose seeing a ghost over watching paint dry!
