Van Gunn / Taxe - ghosttown lyrics

rate me

Just a week ago I was lost on the streets

My car broke down the engine stopped

A mile away was a town

I'd prefer to take a cab but they didn't come there

I was passin' a sign that said danger

I thought it's to scare me off

There where eyes sparklin' in the dark

There was something goin' on which wasn't good

In this lost, lost, lost ghost town

Where eyes watch every step you take

And every night out here is a nightmare

I'll better try to stay awake

I'm riding through this town, long forgotten

Still there is death and decay in the air

There are bones lying in all places

I guess only God knows what happened 'round here

In this lost, lost, lost ghost town

Where eyes watch every step you take

And every night out here is a nightmare

I'll better try to stay awake

There was a saloon ten feet from were I stood

I was tired so I could use a drink

When I walked in I saw the place was dead

I laid myself down waitin' till death came

Now the ghosts have all come back to haunt me

They're taking back what once was theirs

I'm getting weary, my sight is breakin'

This ain't a time for fighting, it's a time for prayers

In this lost, lost, lost ghost town

Where eyes watch every step you take

And every night out here is a nightmare

I'll better try to stay awake

In this lost, lost, lost ghost town

Where eyes watch every step you take

And every night out here is a nightmare

I'll better try to stay awake
