lyrics

“Ghost Town Blues”
Can’t see a thing, all clouds today
The planets are so far apart
Saw a stranger upon every face
Even on those that were known
Sounding good but I just can’t stay
Watch yourself the stairs are iced
We went around in circles I recognize that stone
Saw it last time, certain now, the road we’re on is wrong
There were not any others moving other way
Turn around, shake the ground, this is a new day
Look as far ahead as you can see
The law is out, they’re hot tonight
Took a side street dodge to Ghost Town Blues
Lost myself and made it home
Just walk around the broken down don’t touch the poison on their hands
You’d better turn around the way you’re going runs into a wall
Then all the crowd applauded and walked me to my bed
Closed the lid and buried me though I was not dead
You were not alone down there
That’s enough of this Im soon to break
Just lay down and sleep it off
Wonder if I am the only one
Is that another on the hill
Never catch you but I’m not alone
That is all I need to know
I have to fly don’t say goodbye for we will talk another day
Don’t fly to high eyes on the ground I guess we’re just a pair of strange, strange birds
