Ghost Train Lyrics

  Send "Ghost Train" Ringtone to your Cell  

(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)



They're putting up the posters 

The carnival's in town 

Performing seals and dancing dogs 

And gaily painted clowns 

So ladies take your places 

And wear your finest clothes 

Put on your silk and laces 

Your buttons and your bows 

Spin the wheel of fortune 

And lay your money down 

Let fate be your decider - "faites vos jeux" 

The carnival's in town 



When the show is over 

The empty streets are glistering in the rain 

It's still the same 

Riding on a ghost train 

A feeling stranger than you've ever known 

You're all alone. 



They're putting up the posters 

A wanted man's in town 

They say he's armed and dangerous 

And now he's gone to ground 

He's livin' rough from hand to mouth 

A lethal burning fuse 

He know his time is running out 

There's nothing left to loose 

So parents find your children 

And keep them safe indoors 

He's killed before he'll kill again 

The next one could be yours. 



When the show is over 

The empty streets are glistering in the rain 

It's still the same 

Riding on a ghost train 

A feeling stranger than you've ever known 

You're all alone.
