Competition: Fix or improve these lyrics: "Life" by Des'ree

Improve these lines!

One of the worst lyrics in any song must be this bit from “Life” by Des’ree:

“I don’t want to see a ghost
It’s the sight that I fear most
I’d rather have a piece of toast
(Watch the evening news)”

Some text poverty there. It’s been chosen as the number one worst lyrics several times, e.g.: BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Des'ree takes bad lyric top spot

The challenge is to come up with equally ridiculous lyrics.
Personally I’ve come up with these:
“I don’t want to see a ghoul
it’s a sight that makes me drool
rather sit down on a stool”

or

“I don’t want to see a clown
I would feel so very down
rather have a dressing gown”
