Ghost Train Lyrics
Well I decided to take the bus
It was about 6:05
’Cause I could hardly walk
In fact, I was just barely alive
Under the bridges and over the street
Now every shadow that I meet
They all know my name
And they whisper
“What’s a matter, hon?
Don’t you know you’re riding on the
Ghost Train?”
Jupiter Ray got on the bus
I remember when Jupiter came to town
He was one of the best of us
Oh, that stuff can really take you down
Hey—Jupiter Ray is on the bus
I remember when Jupiter was alive
Come to think of it
You all have a strange translucence in your eyes
What’s a matter, son?
Don’t you know you’re riding on the
Ghost Train?
You just buy your ticket
And get on board
This train don’t stop
’Cause we like to ride, ride ride ride
We just wanna ride, ride ride, ride
Ding goes the trolley
Bang goes the bell
Somebody call my second cousin
I’m not feeling very well
This is where little blondes check in their furs
This is where little blondes check in their hat
Don’t worry about where you were at
We took care of that
Mr. Driver, Is this my stop?
Mr. Driver, tell me how to get off
Any way you can, any way
Come back into the light
You wanna get to heaven
Take the devil by the hand
And you slide right into the promised land
’Cause this could be the night
And this could be the gate
Everybody’s waitin’ for you, darlin’
So don’t be late
What’s a matter, honey?
Didn’t you pay your money for the
Ghost Train?
Well I decided to take the bus
It was about 6:05
’Cause I could hardly walk
In fact, I was just barely alive
This song always reminded me of traumatic memories and how they keep going round and round continuously never stopping never getting processed
