Ghost In The Ruins

(album: Streets - 1991)

Got a limousine
I wanna show it
Future's looking good
I'll probably blow it
Had some parents once
But you'd never know it
Bank roll oversize
So what if they stole it

But who am I fooling
I'm the king of the ruins

But I'm doing well tonight
I got dreams to sell tonight

Got to belong
Try to hang on
Got to belong

Ghost in the ruins
I'm running the street scene
Ghost in the ruins
Burning like gasoline
Ghost in the ruins
I'm taking you in deep
East Side West Side playing for keeps

See the runaway there on the corner
Just a throw away but somebody's daughter
Had a pretty face so somebody bought her
Selling her soul away so put in your order

She knows what she's doing
She's a ghost in the ruins
She's doing it well tonight
Got dreams to sell tonight
She wants to belong
Knows what to do
She's got to hang on
Ghost in the ruins
I'm running the street scene
Ghost in the ruins
Burning like gasoline
Ghost in the ruins
I'm taking you in deep
East Side West Side
Playing for keeps

I know
I know you know
I know
I know you know
I know
I know you know
I don't know anymore
I'm telling you
I don't know anymore
I'm telling you
I don't know anymore
