Lyrics

I wake up to the sound of the whistle
Screaming in my ear
I’m about a million miles
From where I call here
I look around at the world outside and see
I look around at the world that cannot be
All the letters and the rhythms and the noises come back to me
Riding on a ghost train

Bought this ticket years gone by
But I can’t say when
Don’t know how or where I’m going
But I wish that it was then
Got a suspicion it’s a dead-end track ‘cause the towns all look the same
All the passengers know my face but not my name
And if I ride any longer I know I’ll go insane
Riding on a ghost train

And the train man calls out “Final destination!”
As I stumble into the station
All the people walking ‘round like the living dead
And the whistle keeps screaming in my head

Pay my fare, buy my passage
For the price of life
Take the train at the end of the track
Maybe this one’s right
Look around at the world outside and see
Look around at the world that cannot be
All the letters and the rhythms and the noises come back to me
Riding on a ghost train
