Ghost Train

(Album: Feargal Sharkey - 1985)

Take the ghost train away from freedom
One minute you're there and the next you're not
The game's called surprise
Guess the change has come
And the worst part about it is you don't know what you've done

Ghost train
Ghost train
You get a one way ticket on a ghost train

It leaves no time to ponder
No time to change your shoes
It's a fast paced game that you're certain to lose
When you hear that whistle blowing
Just stop what you're doing
You gotta get that train on the road to ruin

Ghost train
Ghost train
You get a one way ticket on a ghost train

The compartment is so tiny
There's only room for one
The conductor is so huge that he blocks out the sun
You can reach for the cord but don't try to pull it
The windows are one way so you can't see through it
