take a walk in the ghost town
where the sky’s as black as crows
they don’t make cars like they used to here
times they change
and factories close
take a ride on a ghost train
and stare at the windows
see time moves as fast as a hurricane
but it’s so strange
it feels so slow
well sometimes it gets so cold down here
well I swear it burns
the wind like fire coming off of the great lakes
sometimes it gets so dark in here
hey I see it turns
the emptiness that moves within my soul
way on down in the ghost town
hey hey hey
see the crash and the rust
see the ash and the dust
feel it slipping through your hands
and falling on the shoes and the shoulders
of the ragged man
see the pride on the shame
like fire and the flame
well it burns through every man
and drops them like drunken soldiers
on the river banks
well sometimes it gets so cold down here
hey I swear it burns
the wind like fire coming off of the great lakes
sometimes it gets so dark in here
well I see it turns
the emptiness that moves within my soul
way on down in the ghost town
well sometimes it gets so cold down here
hey I swear it burns
the wind like fire coming off of the great lakes
sometimes it gets so dark in here
oh I see it turns
the emptiness that moves within my soul
way on down in the ghost town
