Lyrics
Ghost Town
So you took up everything without a please
Get up off your knees
So a lonely chair with a fantasy end
That’s my life now I don’t pretend
I can’t pretend as well as you
You taught me how to hate you
Suck up the taste of my delight
I hope it falls on your wedding night
Your long black hair, don’t fool me
You asked without a please
Your book smarts don’t look good
I have the match to burn those books
Chorus:
The other man can have the crown
He’s drooling on your wedding gown
Hurry before the sky falls down
I hope you dry, on the dusty road
And go where the dead ones go
Hurry before the sky falls down
I’m leaving you in a ghost town
You have no heart, nothing to break
Your head is a blackened maze
You wear your make up so thick
Who would’ve known your skin was so thin
Your eyes are green, with shades of black
Stay there, don’t come back
You soaked up my lust and ate my trust
I’m leaving you, where I must
Now you’re gone, out of my life
You’re going to be a dirty wife
Who knows how long it will last
On your knees and kiss my…..grass
-Chorus-
So take your long black hair, your smile too
Take your shoes with you
Bring them to your new saviour
You can do him no more favours
I’ll do my best, to forget you girl
And the heartbreaks that you hurled
You’ll be in the fields of fire and scorn
You’ll be in the town you were born
I have no interest, in what you like
So I suggest you get on your bike
The highway opens in ten minutes
There’s no time for a speed limit
-Chorus-
I told you once, that you should stay
I no longer see it that way
Reading your books on politicians
You thought I would care, you were a communist
I never knew, what you were on about
Wipe the floor on your way out
There’s a cave in a lonely rock
Where you hang your hats and dirty socks
Go to your home, you should be alone
Where no one will hear you moan
There’s no light, to see in your cave
And no human mind, you can break
-Chorus-
