    I return to this song and Walking Through the Ruins a lot. They still hit a vibe. This band should be given far more appreciation than they received.

    My heart melts and corroborates and pulses with this album. Every track. Every bit. Split Enz got me through a shitty patch called adolescence, and for that I am ever grateful. Neil, Tim, all of you, I can only hope you understand the difference you've made in the world. Thank you.

    This song is hauntingly beautiful. I wish someone would've written a song like this about me. I'd love to be someone's Ghost Girl. Love Split Enz.. I also love how Tim's voice can be angelic, silly, quirky, happy, and manic. He's truly gifted.💕💕💕

    Turbulent time for me, Leaving home for university, girlfriend killed in an MVA. Would put on my walkman and run at night through the streets of my small town, at least five miles per night. Weather permitting I would also ride my bike 20-30 miles during the day time. This album and true colors were my constant companions and I'd swear they were infused into my very being. Subsequently laid them to rest for a long time and moved on and have only recently reacquainted with them. A bittersweet time but made me who I am today. Later would find them again with crowded house but that's a story for another day. Thanks split enz.

    Pale as the sunrise and cold as the moonlight
    She suddenly glides into view
    Echoing footsteps
    Meandering laughter it's you, ooh
    Every whisper reveals a dark secret
    Her first and last love was untrue
    And behind the makeup are the scars of a breakup
    You can see it right through
    The ghost girl
    Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
    She's already started haunting you
    Utter despair has a fatal attraction
    When clothed in a shimmering gown
    But don't take up where her assassin left off
    Or you'll be let down by the ghost girl
    Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
    She's already started haunting you
    She spooks me, woh, the ghost girl
    Come to me, woh, the ghost girl
    In the middle of the night, woh, the ghost girl
    She spooks me, woh, woh, woh
    Ghost girl
    Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
    She's already started haunting you
    Ghost girl
    Don't get too close boy, to the ghost girl
    She's already started haunting you
    Ghost girl...

    Top notch analog equipment with the original LPs on the turntable is the best way to hear the presence and
    brilliance of this bands recordings. I have not heard any digital rendering on the web that compares.

    From the LP entitled "Waiata" (in the U.S.).
    I discovered these guys, and the Police, one pharmaceutically-enhanced late night in 1981, watching Casey Kasem's "America's Top Ten" (the video equivalent of "America's Top 40"), and ran out and bought this LP and "Ghost in the Machine" the next day.
    I love the Police and that LP...
    ...but this LP would be on my Top 10 Rock LP's list.
    (Addendum, 4 years later:)
    Is there a genre known as "Spook Rock?"
    If there isn't, there should be, and this track would epitomize it.
