lyrics

Ghost

V1:
I put my foot down,
Grip the wheel.
Put the hammer down,
How do you feel.

See the city burn,
As we pace.
Edge of control,
Out of this place.

The lines blur,
My vision fades.
Needle spinning like the end of days.

Silver streaking on a ray of light.
We got a raw deal – coming home tonight.

CH:
And we ghost.
And we ghost.

V2:
Another dirty warehouse with the bright-eyed kids.
They’ve got less now.
We know less now.

The cell-tower’s dead but baby wants to twerk it.
And daddy’s police and he knows just how to work it.

Sister’s on the news but the news is all fake,
She got a raw deal, but her followers take.

CH:
And they ghost.
And we ghost.

And they ghost.
And we ghost.

V3:
Look at this,
A vision of light.
Take it in now,
Till it slides from sight.

Lords of the last days,
Powerless gods.
Take the ride,
Flip those odds.

CH:
And we ghost.
As we ghost.
And they ghost.
As we ghost.
