Subject: help with lyrics and song title...smoking with the ghost (out of my mind)

Written By: johnson1986 on 02/16/05 at 9:18 pm

i heard this song the other day and i can't get it out of my head...i'm not sure if i even heard the lyrics correctly, but for what it's worth, the song is very catchy and repetitive...

the chorus goes:

i was smoking with the ghost, out of my mind (out of my mind)



any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Artist: Counting Crows

Song: Big Yellow Taxi


They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swingin' hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parkin' lot

They took all the trees, and put em in a tree museum
And they charged the people a dollar and a half to see them
No, no, no, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise, and put up a parkin' lot

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT
I don't care about spots on my apples,
Leave me the birds and the bees - please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now, they've paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not?

Listen, late last night, I heard the screen door swing,
And a big yellow taxi took my girl away
Now don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey now now, don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you got till it's gone
They paved paradise to put up a parking lot
Why not, they paved paradise
They put up a parking lot
Hey hey hey, paved paradise and put up a parking lot

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Hey, hey, hey
Now you wanna give it
I should wanna give it
Cuz you're givin it all away, no no

I don't wanna give it
Why you wanna give it
Why you wanna givin it all away
Cuz you're givin it all givin it all away yeah yeah
Cuz You're givin it all away hey, hey, hey

Hey, paved paradise, to put up a parking lot
la,la, la, la, la, la, la ,la ,la ,la ,la
Paved paradise, and put up a parking lot



Note: The original artist is Joni Mitchell {1970}

You're almost right.

No mention of "smoking" in this song.

It's walking with a ghost, walking. Hence the title, Walking With A Ghost.

I have been trying my best the last two weeks to figure out the title and artist of that song.  I could have sworn that it says "smoking with the ghost", but "walking" sounds just as logical.  Thanks so much!

Don't know if anyone replied to you, but the artist is Joni Mitchell.  Can't remember the track title, but it's her most popular song so it should be easy to find.
