Ghostown

(album: Take Me Home - 2002)

I live in this ghostown
The whispers from the walls fall like feathers to the ground
I walk upon these cemetary streets
And I don't speak the language of the skeletons that I meet

I live in this ghostown
The acid from the architecture is burning the place down
I wander through these solitary streets
They're empty as an afterthought in purple pools of gasoline

The river's all in flames
I can't go home again
This city speaks in rain

I live in this ghostown
The coffee burns like kerosene and the color of my world is brown
I look out on these melancholy streets
It's quiet as a photograph and lonley as my vanity

The river's all in flames
I can't go home again
This city's rearranged

I'm never going to leave this ghostown
