Lyrics

OUT IN THE DESERT WHERE NO ONE GOES
THERE’S A LITTLE TOWN THAT NO ONE KNOWS
ERODED BY A FIERCE WIND BLOWING LONELY ON THE PLAIN

AND IN THIS TOWN WHERE NO ONE GOES
THIS BOARDED BUS STOP OF BURNED OUT SOULS
WORN AND WEATHERED WOODEN WORDS CALL FROM A CROOKED DOOR

THEY SAY...

GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
IT’S A GHOST TOWN IN YOUR MIND

IT’S THE SOUTHWEST CORNER OF NORTH AND EAST,
UNPOPULATED BY MAN OR BEAST
AND THE POLTERGEISTS OF ETERNITY
ROLL DOWN THE DUSTY STREET

AND IF YOU EVER PASS THROUGH HERE
THIS DUSTY EMBASSY OF WASTED YEARS
KEEP OPEN EYES AND OPEN EARS
THE SPIRITS ARE ALWAYS NEAR, IN THE GHOST TOWN

IN THE...

GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
IT’S A GHOST TOWN IN YOUR MIND

TIME WAS A GAME I NEVER LEARNED
I READ THE RULES BUT I GOT BURNED
IT’S LIKE A CURRENCY SO HARD TO EARN
BLOWN SCATTERED ON THESE PLAINS
IN ANTICIPATION I ENDURED
WAITING FOR GODOT’S GRAND CURE
DELUDED BY WHAT I THOUGHT WAS PURE
I STUMBLED THROUGH MY YEARS

IN THE...

GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
GHOST TOWN
IT’S A GHOST TOWN IN YOUR MIND

A SCARECROW DANCES ON THE EDGE OF TOWN
THE SUN BEATS DOWN ON ITS RAGGED FROWN
THE GUNFIGHTER KNOCKS BACK ANOTHER ROUND
AND THE WAILING WIND IS THE ONLY SOUND
IN THE GHOST TOWN
