Well, the streets are all crowded
Lots of people around
And there's music playing
But I can't hear a sound
Just the sound of the rain
Falling silently down
Livin' ain't been livin'
Since you put me down
Yeah, life goes on around me every day
But it might as well be
Half a million miles away
It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town, until you come back to me
Oo, oo, till you come back to me
Well, I wish I still had you
Had you here next to me
Baby, where did you go?
Baby, why did you leave?
Oh, the world, it keeps turnin'
But it don't turn for me
Without you in my life
My life ain't no place to be
There's only lonely days and empty nights
Ain't the same without you, baby
Nothing's feelin' right
Nothing?s feelin' right
It's like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
It's a ghost town, until you come back to me
Oo oo, till you come back to me
Darlin', I wanna leave this town
Don't wanna be around
I'm gonna leave this town
It's like a ghost town
It?s like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town without your love
Like a ghost town, baby, can't you see?
A ghost town, until you come back to me
Oo oo, till you come back to me
It?s like a ghost town
It?s a ghost town
Hey hey, it?s like a ghost town, can?t you see?
It?s like a ghost town
'Til you come, till you come back to me
Come on let's go down
Everybody's waiting for us down at the ghost town
Bill Bailey said he'd be around
If Mrs. G. Robinson would just put that bad Havana down
Lovely Queen Anne Boleyn
Learning new tricks
From the Great Houdini
And that's the way she's gonna make it
Come on, come on let's go down
Everybody's waiting for us down at the boom town
O. Redding an' Washington
Chico an' Harpo an' Karl are in the kitchen with mum
Buster Keaton and King Tut
Are waiting for Disney to wake up
Now that's the way
This town is becoming like a ghost town...
[repeated several times]
In the firelight
Shinin' bright
Their faces worn and weathered
It's a hard life
An endless flight
From one night to another
Silver moonlight falls
Between grey walls
Through shutters old and weary
Broken window pane
Stands in vain
While night winds moan and whisper
And there's no lover
Whose heart burns
In this ghost town
Just the long shadows
That chase through this ghost town
Faded memories
Of used to be
Lie wasted and forgotten
Like a lost love
Who patiently waits

sunday morning freak show someone forgot to pull the plug out on this place a long time ago the angels, the don't come around and the gods, they run like devils chasing secrets no one talks about down avenues of glitter lights and pain i've been looking for a place to leave my troubled thoughts behind but trouble's growing all around it's all i seem to find in this land of make believe toxic february breeze cemetery boulevards and neon signs that say you've come too far i don't want to be the one to say i know exactly what i'm headed for some things in life i think you shouldn't know if i'm on a one way street to nowhere at least i made it there to say i don't regret a single thing that i have done
The thing that makes me feel the most down,
Is the feeling that I'm living in a ghost town.
Barn door bangin' in my face,
Like tumbleweed,
I'm rolling 'round this place.
I see you arriving at the station,
But it's only my imagination.
So I'm begging on my knees,
Turn around,
And save me, baby, please.
From this ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
Hey kid, I remember all the laughter,
Especially when we woke the morning after.
Why did you have to go away,
Leaving me to wander every day.
In this ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
We were born to ride,
Side by side.
We are always reaching for the stars,
And they can still be ours.
(If you free me from this)
Ghost town,
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
I feel like giving in.
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
I feel like giving in,
Since you left I'm living in,
An old ghost town.
Living in an old ghost town
Ghost Town
Cold Chisel
(Twentieth Century)
I've been forty days and forty nights
In television land
I'd kill myself with cigarettes
If I could find my hands
Livin' in a ghost town
Take this will and testament
And nail it to the wall
You know I spent my time here
Learning how to crawl
Livin' in a ghost town
And money don't buy water round
The ghost town
I've never found a border round
The ghost town
Whoever sets the weather
Oughta keep it pretty calm
Keep it fine and mild
Cause like a cheap alarm
I'm fuckin' wound
There's just a man on a bad street
Who cannot turn around
Or shout above the heat
Below the knees he's
Buried in the ground
Waking up in Sydney babylon
Is what it's all about
There's only one way in here
[The sound of a lonely harmonica.]
The dance hall is silent and empty
The banjos don't play anymore
The music is only a mem'ry
And the dancing is dust on the floor
Wild flowers cover the ground now
The timbers are streaking with gray
The palace is tumblin' down now
And the dancers have all gone away
[Chorus]
Once there was singing
And once there was song
And once there was silver and gold (silver and gold)
The tombstones are weathered and broken
But the last signs of life are still here
The labors of love have been stolen
But the gold was the last souvenir
[Chorus]
Once there was laughter
And once there was life
And once there was silver and gold (silver and gold)
The dance hall is silent and empty
The banjos don't play anymore...
I'm so fuckin' over this
My sins mean everything
Subconscious thoughts are what I need today
They said they're gonna get me
You ain't getting out alive
They said they're gonna kiss me
Right between the eyes
You gotta watch it, son
You better fuckin' pray
That Jesus Christ will save you
It's coming, Judgment Day
Leave it up to me
Just leave it up to me
If you leave it up me
I'll fuck it up
I'm so fuckin' over this
My sins mean everything
Subconscious thoughts are what I need today
Mother Mary, did you see?
Your son turned his back on me
Cause everything I do is killing me
You've gotta listen, baby
I don't think you understand
These men are serious
And they have dirty plans
I turn my back to them
And I looked them in the eye
And I said if I'm gonna die
You're coming by my side
Leave it up to me
Just leave it up to me
If you leave it up me
I'll fuck it up just like I always do
So I give up
I'm giving in
I get down on my knees
I'm nothing but a sinner
I can not stand
Waking up everyday
And staring up at a God
Who never stares back at me
I'll fuck it up
I'll fuck it up
I'm so fuckin' over this
My sins mean everything
Subconscious thoughts are what I need today
Mother Mary, did you see?
Your son turned his back on me
Out of my head things are going mad
So we cannot return into life
Out of myy mind all eyes are still blind
And the only impression is pale
We cannot realise the aim
Just did identify that
Thereç£ no one in ghost town
Nobody switched the light on
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to pray
Inside your bed the rats are still there
And the poison corroded the frame
Inside your mouth your tongue starts to shout
And it swallows the uncertain name
We do not realise the aim
No one did recognize that
Thereç£ no one in ghost twon
Nobody switched the light on
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to pray
We cannot realise the aim
Just did identify that
Thereç£ no one in ghost town
Nobody switched the light on
A black hole in ghost town
Just dark and cold rooms for to pray
A black hole in ghost town
oh oh oh oh oh (x2)
Everyone living in ghost town
everyone buried in waste land
we dont want to
we dont have to be like that

all the boys shouting out loud now
all the girls screaming out louder

Everyone living in ghost town

oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh, let go let go of me
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh, let go let go of me
It's nearly over, the last train is near
And it's leaving behind those tears
These are the bad lands
The worst place to fear
Making place for the ones we left here
They're calling calling
To say goodbye
Now! Were dead in this ghost town
you better let go so let go let go of me
were dead in this ghost town
you better let go so let go let go of me
oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh let go let go of me
oh oh oh oh
I can't see the burned out night light
Her spirit calls from long ago, long ago
Something doesn't ring right
Must be my telephone
Breakin' in another morning
Shadows cold across the floor, across the floor
I miss you sweet magnolia
I missed your love and nothing more
It's like a Ghost Town when she's gone
City lights can't spark a flame
I'm not quite sure where I belong
Old love songs sure don't sound the same
I can't sleep, so I can't dream
Tumbleweed keeps rollin' on
Like a Ghost Town when she's gone
Stacked up papers
Empty bottle full of blues, full of blues
Oh, ain't nothing sacred
Nothing but the sight of you
Long gone feelings
Travel well down dusty roads, dusty roads
You give me one good reason
To think she's ever coming home
It's like a Ghost Town when she's gone
City lights can't spark a flame
I'm not quite sure where I belong
The old love songs sure don't sound the same
I can't sleep, so I can't dream
Tumbleweed keeps rollin' on
Like a Ghost Town when she's gone
Livin' in a Ghost Town
I'll cut out the broken hearts down union avenue
Let the streets run red with my revenge
You can't fake apologies for everything you do
You can't repay the price that's on your head
The price that's on your head
When the sky comes down
Over this ghost town
You'll be first against the wall
With our guns held high
In the dead of night
You'll be first against the wall
Come on, test me
You'll be first to take the fall
When the sky comes down
Over this ghost town
You'll be first against the wall
Scatter like the roach, like the insect that you are
Cowards always try to get away
No matter where you run, no matter where you hide
I will hunt you down you can't escape
You can't escape
When the sky comes down
Over this ghost town
You'll be first against the wall
With our guns held high
In the dead of night
You'll be first against the wall
Come on, test me
You'll be first to take the fall
When the sky comes down
Over this ghost town
You'll be first against the wall
Test me and you'll be shot down
Test me and you'll be shot down
Shot down
When the sky comes down
Over this ghost town
You'll be first against the wall
With our guns held high
In the dead of night
You'll be first against the wall
Come on, test me
You'll be first to take the fall
When the sky comes down
Over this ghost town
You'll be first against the wall
Light a match and burn this all down,
Suffocate the voices in doubt.
Nothing here is falling in place,
A map that points to all our mistakes.
Too much to handle, too much to take.
This is a ghost town.
Too far to go to get here,
too much of this sound.
And I need a light, I need to know when i can break out.
Tell me it's safe now.
Tell me it's safe now.
Spiders crawling down from the walls,
They might be listening to this call.
Are you even all that you say?
The chemicals, they make me this way.
Too much to handle, too much too late.
This is a ghost town.
Too far to go to get to here,
too much of this sound.
I need a sign, I need to know when i can break out.
Tell me it's safe now.
Tell me it's safe now.
When everybody acts like a game, Oh.
Are we really just filling space?
When all the pieces, they don't add up to none.
Too much to handle, much to take.
This is a ghost town.
Too far to go to get to here,
Too much of this sound.
I need a light, I need to know when i can break out.
Tell me it's safe now.
Tell me it's safe now.
Gotta get, gotta get out of here
Gotta get, gotta get out of here
Aint nothing left for me in this hotel
No dreams, no men, no money well
Gotta stop working in this hotel
Gotta stop working in this hotel
If I stay to long it will bring me down
God knows where Ill go but I wont be found
Chorus
Its a ghost town, ghost town
You gotta leave before the sun goes down
Its a ghost town, ghost town
You better leave before the sun goes down
Gotta get, gotta get movin on
Gotta get, gotta get movin on
Aint nothin new since Ive been young
And everyone knows everyone
Well I was dating Johnny Rye
Hes so loose he on the side
Well she was chasin Bobby Black
He kissed me behind her back
Chorus
Maybe Ill be back one day
When my hair is turning grey
Not for now Ill blow a kiss
I gotta get outa this
.
Chorus x2
The colour's drained away, all the streets are bleeding perfumes
And in the checkout lines a couple jilted teary bridegrooms
The lips all stretch and dance about
And talk of days and months spent lying about
I tried to walk to your house but my bones skipped out
Yeah, this is a ghost town
Every friday night another place 'round here goes up for sale
And the place where lovers met was quarantined after the fallout scare
We wave from cars like presidents
And the weeds crowed out the monuments
I can't wait until your letter's sent
Yeah, this is a ghost town
Maybe the ground opened up
And swallowed everyone up
It's just you and me so comfortably
The news out on the wire's of a cruise ship lost out at sea
The security guard slept as a bull ran through the gallery
Some take up residence in funeral homes
Some hang thier fuzzy dice in the catacombs
Alexander Graham Bell's crying on the telephone
[Verse 1]
This room is so cold
It feels like a ghost
Right here in my home
The dead will riot and they'll roam
Flipping off the lights, try to chase me out
Pulling at my hair just to hear a shout
I know you're here with me
You're not dead but you wish you could be
[Pre-Chorus]
In my bed with me inside your skin
I'm not giving in, I'm not giving in
[Chorus]
Watch the shutters
Watch 'em tremble now
In the silence
In the night spun out
And violently the ghost will roam
Always strung out, never alone
[Verse 2]
I wake up so scared
I know that you're there
A breath from your lungs
Froze my heart to life in fear
Static on the screen, try to reel me in
Mute the silent scream, anything to win
Cut a slit straight down my chest
Sink within, wear my ribs as a vest
[Pre-Chorus]
In my bed with you inside my skin
You're not giving in, you're not giving in
This town, is coming like a ghost town
All the clubs have been closed down
This place, is coming like a ghost town
Bands won't play no more
too much fighting on the dance floor
Do you remember the good old days
Before the ghost town?
We danced and sang,
And the music played inna de boomtown
This town, is coming like a ghost town
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf
This place, is coming like a ghost town
No job to be found in this country
Can't go on no more
The people getting angry
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
This town, is coming like a ghost town
Every time I look up at these pictures on the wall
I think I hear you callin' but there's no one there at all
All the rooms are empty, dusty echoes in the hall
It's all wrong, she's long gone
Like a ghost town
The cold wind blowin' down an empty street
Like a ghost town
Shadow of what used to be
All we were keeps on haunting me
Like a ghost town
This house was full of color now it looks all dark and grey
Where once was music a piano waits to play
Now I'll spend tomorrow in a town called yesterday
A desolate silence, deaths in the air
Surrounded by pain, a terrified stare
From the dark eyes of hell, a sky black and gray
No hope for life
No hope for today
This ghost town stands
Overwhelmed by decay
Suffering on poisoned ground
Suffering in this ghost town
Dark clouds from above, bring darkness and doom
Effortlessly shattering, what lies in its course
A deafening roar, it feels no remorse
No hope for life
No hope for today
This ghost town stands
Overwhelmed by decay
Suffering on poisoned ground
Suffering in this ghost town
Mother Earth has bestowed their fate
Mercilessly punishing those who desecrate
A lifetime of memories swept away in the dust
Dreams of the innocent lay in ruin and rust
An invisible hunter infecting the unknowing
Man planting seeds that the reaper is sowing
Sad eyes lock upon this town
As they dwell on unclean ground
Mountains of sorrow rising forth
Blood red tears pouring from its source
A shadow of its former self
Sitting at the mouth of hell
Empty roads leading to empty souls
The dark underground swallowing whole
Lives once so fertile now all but lost
No hope for life
No hope for today
This ghost town stands
Overwhelmed by decay
Suffering on poisoned ground
In the mornin', I'm not done sleepin'
In the evening, I guess I'm alive
It's alright, can still peel myself off sleepwalking
In a ghost town
Think I'll never leave my couch again
'Cause when I'm out, I'm only on my mind
And then again I guess it ain't always that way
In the mornin' I'm not done sleepin'
In the evening I guess I'm alive
It's alright, could still peel myself off sleepwalking
In a ghost town
Think I'll never leave my couch again
'Cause when I'm out, I'm only on my mind
Christ was born, I was there
You know me, I'm a ram
I got friends, well, wait where was I?
Well, I am tryin'
When I'm drivin'
I find on dreamin', dreamin' two's and drifting
It's just these towns, I wanna pull over, open up and
stay
And rain drops might fall on my hair sometimes
But I don't pay 'em any mind
Christ was here, you just missed Him
Now I'm out, goin' down second
To all the stores to see my friend
If I can't survive oceans
When I'm drinkin' I get to joke and
And I'm laughing, falling down
But that's just fine and I just pick myself up
And walk down ghost town
Rain drops might fall on my hair sometimes
But I don't pay 'em any mind
Throat is dry I’m feeling sick
The towns moving fast
I never feel like this
I use to be among the crowd
My friends around me
Now I'm feeling singled out
I’m feeling blue
Seems as if I never knew you
I’m stuck between walls
The heat takes a toll on me
Fair-weather friends
Are all that are left
I’m alone and my life here is dead
I need to get out of this town
Memories fade but the heart stays the same
The ghosts of the past will haunt
And now,
My heart takes the train
The coals help it to move along
Fast on tracks uncertain
Trying to find something new
But I burned all the bridges
And I’m about to crash and burn
My mind is always overreacting
It's hard to be completely there.
I only stare, and wonder why I am here
Now I’m to blind to see that
All I ever do is sit and watch tv
It seems that I’m losing my mind
Searching for the answers that are impossible to find
I’m getting nowhere in this slow town
Everyone around me has slowly moved on
I need to catch the early train wherever it may go
To search for answers which are impossible to find
Got a bottle in hand
Full throttle,
I'm back again
All the lives that I've wasted,
This cycle will never end
Got a picture of you,
And the life that we knew
Now the thoughts of your body is hauntin' me
It's all a show
I got a place for the wicked to go
Got a mindset that nobody knows
Now this evil is taking control,
And where's our freedom now?
In a place we never wanted to be,
Taking all my love away from me
Soon we'll take it to the fuckin' streets,
And take back our liberty
You're a monster,
Nobody wants her,
But me
So sharpen your teeth
(Makes it easier to bleed)
And I'm losing my mind,
In the middle of the night
When I'm hearing your screams,
And you're dead asleep
It's all a show
(It's all a show)
I got a place for the wicked to go
Got a mindset that nobody knows
Now this evil is taking control,
And where's our freedom now?
In a place we never wanted to be,
Taking all my love away from me
Soon we'll take it to the fuckin' streets,
And take back our liberty
Take back our liberty
Take back our liberty
Look what you've done to us
I got a place for the wicked to go
Got a mindset that nobody knows
Now this evil is taking control,
And where's our freedom now?
In a place we never wanted to be,
Taking all my love away from me
Soon we'll take it to the fuckin' streets,
And take back our liberty
Take back our liberty
Take back our liberty
I'll take what belongs to me
I'll take back our liberty
1-2-3-4... Go!
How can you sleep at night, when the sound of the clock is ticking away our time?
Will we make it through the night?
I'll believe It when I see it, and I'm blinded by the sunlight
Faded through my eyes,
I see your silhouette.
Now the visions from last night are coming alive, coming alive
We're dead, we're dead, now we own the night
We're dead, we're dead, live the dead beat life
We're dead, we're dead, every single night
So lets party in the graveyard.
*CALLING ALL MONSTERS,
ZOMBIES AND CREEPS...
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT FOR DREAMERS
AND TRUE BELIEVERS IN THE AFTER LIFE
LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! *
I take back all my poor words.
Talk is cheap, but my mind is rich
When I close my eyes
You grab my wrist,
And pull me in to your cold dead lips
In to your cold dead lips
You're a cold heart bitch
In to your cold hard lips
You're just a cold hard bitch
We're dead, we're dead, now we own the night
We're dead, we're dead, live the dead beat life
We're dead, we're dead, every single night
So lets party in the graveyard!
Party in the graveyard!
They say the world is ending
What did you live for?
Let go of all your vices
They're just controlling us
They say we're dead and it ends tonight
I say, " Then lets party in the graveyard!"
We're dead, we're dead, now we own the night
We're dead, we're dead, live the dead beat life
We're dead, we're dead, every single night
So lets party in the graveyard
Party in the graveyard!
I say tonight we go out,
Get out minds in the clouds.
And all our spineless friends
Are comin' out to scream and shout,
We tearing at the seams,
My skin can't handle me.
She's got a way of sayin'...
She's always tellin' me...
Your skeleton forgot to bring it's backbone.
Next time pack it in your body bag.
Your skeleton forgot to bring it's backbone.
Your broken ribs are cracking me up.
You say I'm bad to the bone.
But girl you really don't know.
The ones that got away, were tied to loose.
Without the moon I haven't changed in days.
I'm breakin' out this cage.
She's got a way of sayin'...
She's always tellin' me...
Your skeleton forgot to bring it's backbone.
Next time pack it in your body bag.
Your skeleton forgot to bring it's backbone.
Your broken ribs are cracking me up.
I'm tearin' through your skin to bone.
Breaking through your ribs to your heart.
It was mine to keep from the start.
Who are you to tear us apart?
I've always wanted you to f***in' tell the truth,
And now I finally know who you are on the inside.
Da**, I like your insides.
Your skeleton forgot to bring it's backbone.
Next time pack it in your body bag.
Your skeleton forgot to bring it's backbone.
If I die before I shine,
I hope my soul will finally find,
A heart that beats as fast as mine,
In search of something worth my time.
A place to rest, A place to hide,
From all the mess I've left behind.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Washed up broken hearted lie.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Waste of all my time.
She's so hard to find,
Yet I watch her all the time...
Ain't nothin to us lately.
Maybe we can make a movie.
I'll be your king and you my queen,
I'm just the dreamer type.
Lets take this one scene at a time.
And I hope it feels right when I'm holding you tight.
Damn, I want it bad. Now you know I want you bad.
And I hope it feels right when I'm holding you tight.
Damn, I want it so bad.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Washed up broken hearted lie.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Waste of all my time.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Washed up broken hearted lie.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Waste of all my God damn time.
Real talk...
I'll build a bridge from your castle to mine,
To fill a gap distorted with time.
Electrifying lights lead the way,
Thoughts of a future with something to say.
I got it, I got it, I got it... Bad
I want you, I want you, I want you... Bad
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Washed up broken hearted lie.
This occasion calls for something more than just another...
Take take take take my breath away,
Cause I've got nothin else that I can say.
It's time we showed our faces,
Got real and travel places.
I have something better for us this time.
Take look inside my twisted mind.
It's not my fault I'm like this,
We're products of these places.
Oh, Doctor fix me right this time.
Doctor, I'm better than a "flatline".
I'm not a waste.
Turn my back on that place
Where I've made my mistakes.
The ghost in my soul,
Is reaching for more.
I just gotta say one more thing.
This damn girl pretends to be what she's not.
A liar,
a cheat,
a phony,
a fraud.
Don't take it from me, just be who you are.
Don't don't don't call me maybe.
I don't play those games.
Don't don't don't call me shady.
It's all just the same.
Oh, Doctor fix me right this time.
Doctor, I'm better than a "flatline".
I'm not a waste.
Turn my back on that place
Where I've made my mistakes.
The ghost in my soul,
Is reaching for more.
I just gotta say one more thing.
It's time to take this feeling of a heart-attack,
Built up from my broken past,
Find something that's gonna last.
I'm reaching out for something more.
I just gotta say one more thing.
I'm not a waste.
Turn my back on that place
Where I've made my mistakes.
The ghost in my soul,
Is reaching for more.
I just gotta say one more thing.
I'm not a waste
I'm not a waste
I'm not a waste
I'm not a waste
The ghost in my soul,
Is reaching for more.
Destructive mannerisms take me down the rabbit hole
Now watch me as I tunnel deeper and I lose control
There's gotta be a painless way to take this where it's gonna go
I'm yelling louder then I ever have before...
Don't make me go down in flames
Don't make me
Don't make me go down like this...
In flames
Don't make me... Don't make me...
Go down like this... in flames
Your truthful words are spitting fire
Cut off from dreaming... now I'm screaming to go higher
And I don't... no I don't... wanna go back home!
Misunderstood By the universe
I'm hating what you said to me...
Your words will never get to me...
I'm only shooting higher... I'll set the sky on fire!
Don't make me go down in flames
Don't make me
Don't make me go down like this...
In flames
Don't make me... Don't make me...
Go down like this... in flames
The ice on my heart
Is making it hard
To start this spark
Don't give it the wind
Your oxygen
Is making it worse
Exhale with the right words...
So cold that your touch burns...
Is this love or a curse... ?
Is this love or a curse! ?
Don't make me go down in flames
Don't make me
Don't make me go down like this...
In flames
Don't make me... Don't make me... Go down
Don't make me go down in flames
Don't make me
Don't make me go down like this...
In flames
Don't make me... Don't make me...
Crawlin' up my legs
Tryin' to get a little taste
You sink your teeth in my thigh
I scream for joy
I say oh my
Blood drippin' off your mouth
You ask my why I like it
Girl you outta know
You're not just dead, but you're a psychic
You're trying to look inside my brain,
But you're not caring what I think
Just so that you could have a feast
And now you're causing all this pain
(Whoa oh oh pain)
Cause you're a zombie
You're a zombie girl
Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
Zombie,
You're a zombie girl
Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
My world is your world.
My girl is a zombie girl.
Cause you're a zombie
You're a zombie girl
Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
I'm thinkin' back to when I first saw you smile
You pulled me in your grave you took me for a ride
You started rippin' through my chest,
Tore my heart out
I saw it beatin' in your hand as I cried out
You're tryin' to look inside my heart,
But you're not caring what I feel
Just so that you could have a feast,
And now you're causing all this pain
(Whoa oh oh pain)
Cause you're a zombie
You're a zombie girl
Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
Zombie,
You're a zombie girl
Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
My world is your world
My girl is a zombie girl
Cause you're a zombie

Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
Girl come and limp my way,
Show me all of your zombie ways
Show me all of your ways
You're a zombie

Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
Zombie,

Killin' me,
Tryin' to eat my world
My world is your world
My girl is a zombie girl
You're a zombie
You're a zombie girl
Killin' me,
For so long now I've been coming to your rescue
(Got me thinking I'll get you)
And I'm serious when I say
I'm over it
I'm over it (and all your fuckin' lies)
That you'll stick around and stay on my side of town
Now I'm covered in blood
And I'm feeding off your pretty little lies
For once why can't you just come and chase me
Dig up my grave and save my body
Now I'm rotting to the bone
But my heart's still beatin'
Hopin' you won't leave me
Creepy girls you're just my style
Blood red lipstick you don't smile
Falling victim to your fantasy
Damn, I love it that You're So Creepy
Now you're risking it all for some creepy girl
With a blacked out rage that'll cast a spell
Don't tempt her she's got those evil eyes
NOW YOU'RE RISKING IT ALL for a pinup doll
WHO DRINKS IN THE A.M. FUCKS IN THE P.M.
TREATS ALL THE BOYS LIKE SHE DON'T NEED 'EM
Creepy girls you're just my style
Blood red lipstick you don't smile
Falling victim to your fantasy
Damn, I love it that You're So Creepy
*DUBSTEP*
Creepy girls you're just my style
Blood red lipstick you don't smile
Falling victim to your fantasy
Damn, I love it that You're So Creepy
Creepy girls you're just my style
Blood red lipstick you don't smile
Falling victim to your fantasy
Damn, I love it that You're So Creepy
I got my costume on
What you don't know
This mask is always on
Being stuck in this house dumb
My eyes are spinning from the rum
Like a pirate
I'll start a riot...
All night long until these clothes come off...
We gotta reason to dance
Ohohoh
Light a fire underneath your feet
Gotta reason to dance
Ohohoh
Light a fire underneath your feet
Am I your trick or treat
My life is already so fictional
So I'm not fazed by all these stupid hoes
I'm not at home without my creepy girls
So fuck this party from that Facebook post
It's as empty as the streets below
Lets go to where the monsters go.
We gotta reason to dance
Ohohoh
Light a fire underneath your feet
Gotta reason to dance
Ohohoh
Light a fire underneath your feet
Am I your trick or treat
You know I want your problems,
Got love for imperfection
Your lips are razor sharp,
They cut me deeper then the rest
I'll take you as you are,
No time to heal your scars...
Am I your trick or treat.
Am I your trick or treat
Keep on looking back my way,
I've got something for you and me
You never thought that we could be the perfect tragedy
You know I want your problems,
Got love for imperfection
Your lips are razor sharp,
They cut me deeper then the rest
I'll take you as you are,
No time to heal your scars.
Am I your trick or treat.
Am I your trick or treat
Fuck it
We gotta reason to dance
Ohohoh
Light a fire underneath your feet
Gotta reason to dance
Ohohoh
Light a fire underneath your feet
So close to where you came from.
Plugged in I'm in your world now.
So lost without a map,
You drop me off on the highest mountain.
You know I'm dying out here.
Lost hope and my will to live.
In your bed my heart is hopeless,
You're so cruel to treat me like this
Got a needle and my mouth is stitched.
I'm taken in.
Everything that I can see.
You don't know a thing about me.
Not a god damn thing about me
Timing's everything,
Gotta get that shit right.
It might get tight.
Breaking through that spotlight.
Chick's a game freak,
Hurting all those boy sheep.
She's a wolf and I like it when she bites me
Passed out like my eyes have never opened before.
Then I left my body now,
I'm reading you a thought at a time.
This ain't a privilege but a long lost right.
Close your eyes and open your mind.
(Defying gravity)
Gotta give it up,
I'm breaking in.
These thoughts of you and me
Got a needle and my mouth is stitched.
I'm taken in.
Everything that I can see.
You don't know a thing about me.
Not a god damn thing about me
Timing's everything,
Gotta get that shit right.
It might get tight.
Breaking through that spotlight.
Chick's a game freak,
Hurting all those boy sheep.
She's a wolf and I like it when she bites me
In this darkness I see colors.
This dimention ain't big enough for you and I.
You got me waiting,
But your mind is made up.
Just let it go and
Show me what you're made of
(What you're made of).
Timing's everything,
Gotta get that shit right.
It might get tight.
Breaking through that spotlight.
Chick's a game freak,
Hurting all those boy sheep.
She's a wolf and I like it when she bites me
Can you bring me air
Where I have been
Give me a heart to feel humour
You're like the sun
I'm starting to feel
Where I've been numb
I can't see what's real
So say you'll help me find it
It's been buried
So far under the ground
Deep where noone's around
It's a ghost town
Say there's somebody there
Be my breath I need air
It's a ghost town
Can I hear your voice
From inside these walls
I have begun to feel silence
To stand here and say
Is like battling
Giants
So say you'll help me
Fight them
It's been buried
So far under the ground
Deep where noone's around
It's a ghost town
Say there's somebody there
Be my breath I need air
Running like the Devils chasing you
You run so far and got so far
Slow, Then whittle down
And pace yourself for the heart breaker
Two days, To Much
Two years ago
You had me back now take it slow
This is to much to quick
Details got to much to remember so
Give it all to
Carrie me off to
Stop this place
This is a ghost town
Get out, Get out
Before you get to lost (x2)
Lead me there and take my crown
Why quiet nights? They bring us down
We can live without these problems
Least it's tem-tem-tem-temporary
Throw in the river
Leave me to drown
This is our place now
Our tem-tem-temporary solution so
Give it all to
Carrie me off to
Stop this place
This is a ghost town
Get out, Get out
Before you get to lost (x4)
Get out, Get out
Before you get to lost
This is a ghost town
Get out, Get out
I've been driving in my car
Trying to find some sign of life
No on'e about and it's kinda creepy
It's an understatement to say it's sleepy
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
Well you think your town is pretty boring
Come and spend a day with me
I am asking real politely
I'm afraid to be alone
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
Apocalyptic, distressing, needs addressing and I'm guessing
Everybody likes to go... I know, I know, I know
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town where no one goes
It's a ghost town
Riding through this ghost town
Hope nobody shoots me down
Got a pay load running through
All this to find you
Paparazzi and the flashing lights
Looks like it's Britney Spears tonight
Baby, they're onto you
And I don't wanna lose you
Stars are falling and the hills are on fire
Vanity is a perpetual liar
I can see it in your eyes
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
See the bandits dressed in black
They don't want me coming back
They wanna keep you to themselves
They almost have you, I can tell
Stars are falling and the hills are on fire
Vanity is a perpetual liar
I can see it in your eyes
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Come on, baby, let me throw you a line
Let's get outta here, we still got time
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Stars are falling and the hills are on fire
Vanity is a perpetual liar
I can see it in your eyes
I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Stars are falling and the hills are on fire
Vanity is a perpetual liar
I could see it in your eyes
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Come on, baby, let me throw you a line
Let's get outta here, we still got time
And I don't wanna lose you
I don't wanna lose you
Stars are falling and the hills are on fire
Vanity is a perpetual lie
I can see it in your eyes
And I don't wanna lose you
No money, no fun, no bullets, no guns
No highways, no cars, no battles, no scars
And I don't wanna live in a ghost town
And I don't wanna live in a ghost town
No robbers, no cops, no factories, no jobs
No groceries, no food, no music, no good
And I don't wanna live in a ghost town
And I don't wanna live in a ghost town
I don't wanna live in a ghost town
I don't want people standing all around
Yes, I do, me and you
Well, I don't wanna live in a ghost town
I don't wanna see all the buildings falling down
Distracted by the captain and a crew of 1000 clowns
They brought a foggy mystery into our dusty town
The baker's baking daggers for the headless Mister Caine.
And on the streets a marching band of corpse is on their way
This town's not safe no more
Everybody is gotta learn somehow
There is no plane yeah a car but no road
Everybody is gotta do the ghost now
Affected by the silence of a million panic screams
A monkey and a butcher play a magic tambourine
The shops are closed, the wind is old and everything's so quiet
From dusk till dawn from bone to bone the dark awakes at night
This town's not safe no more
Everybody is gotta learn somehow
There is no plane yeah a car but no road
Everybody is gotta do the ghost now
Just pull over to the side of the road and I’ll find some
where else new, after all these years we couldn’t keep
our ground. Soon I’ll be leaving my hometown, leaving
this ghost town then I won’t fade away. I’m just trying
to get out of here, find some place where I can stay,
after all these years I wasted all in this town. So while
the city sleeps, I lie awake on the floor of an
Night after night, i sit here killing my mind
no one around will fucking give me their time
so i'm lacing my vans and im treading out the door
cause watching late night is such a fucking bore
everyone here's so fucking fake
fuck this county, fuck this place
people all around but i'm all alone
i'll never call this fucking place home
stabbing backs and sucking dicks
all these kids are fucking pricks
all this fucking bullshit makes me sick
night after night i just wander around
yuppies in minivans staring me down
stopped by the cops every block and a half
after 100 times its gotten harder to laugh
everyone here's so fucking fake
fuck this county, fuck this place
people all around but i'm all alone
i'll never call this fucking place home
stabbing backs and sucking dicks
all these kids are fucking pricks
it makes me fucking sick
day after day i crawl out of bed
i wanna make a break for it
but i watch tv instead
people all around but im all by myself
this suburban utopia is my fucking hell
everyone here's so fucking fake
fuck this county, fuck this place
people all around but i'm all alone
i'll never call this fucking place home
stabbing backs and sucking dicks
all these kids are fucking pricks
it makes me fucking sick.
I hate the way your making me act around your friends,
And the way you keep saying you won't let me in.
Now I'm starving for your attention.
While your begging for my affection.
And my habit of crawling in your bed at night,
Is leading you to thinking that this is for life.
But I'm starving for your attention.
While your begging for my affection.
Suffering is easy with a villain like me. Now your contemplating leaving but you can't escape the,
Thoughts of what they told you would happen in the end.
Now I bet your really wishing that we had never met.
I'm thinking back to when we met in that ghost town, and how it felt to be held and never let down.
My lifeless touch was just touch that you were waiting for.
My evil ways were always there, Just couldn't see before.
Tear me limb from limb.
I'm just a voodoo doll.
Stick a needle in my eye,
So I can finally cry.
So I can finally cry.
Now I feel the pain of your lighter's flame burning at my feet.
You make it hard to sleep.
Got another plan, gonna make me suffer till I lose my mind.
Gonna make me feel it till you take my life.
You got an evil mind.
I taught you just in time.
Tear me limb from limb.
I'm just a voodoo doll.
Stick a needle in my eye,
So I can finally cry.
So I can finally cry.
Tear me limb from limb.
I'm just a voodoo doll.
Stick a needle in my eye,
So I can finally cry.
So I can finally cry.
My lifeless touch was just touch that you were waiting for.
My evil ways were always there, Just couldn't see before.
Got another plan, gonna make me suffer till I lose my mind.
Gonna make me feel it till you take my life.
You got an evil mind.
I taught you just in time.
You scream, "You're finally mine."
But babe I'm still alive.
Tear me limb from limb.
I'm just a voodoo doll.
Stick a needle in my eye,
So I can finally cry.
So I can finally cry.
Tear me limb from limb.
I'm just a voodoo doll.
Stick a needle in my eye,
So I can finally cry.
A dangerous upspring reflected on you,
Has the kids telling fairytales based off your lie.
The remorse of a princess who's mocked by her father.
A revolt to her majesty she bows out for life.
Your highness, your highness how low will you go?
Do you dare say it to the cities of the world?
He may doubt the truth of it, but nothing excuses it.
When a man's pride is injured a drink or two is due.
I know it seems like it's impossible, just to stop it all.
And if you think I'm a mistake
Just break
It off.
Yeah, this downward spiral's going viral,
In the colosseum people screamin, "Off with her head!"
I've never been so loyal, nor have I bowed so deeply.
Locked in the pillory, I'm paralyzed.
Is this a reflection of humanity?
No this mustn't be the end. No this mustn't be the end!
I know it seems like it's impossible, just to stop it all.
And if you think I'm a mistake
Just break
It off.
My entire life you were walkin out.
1, 000 times now I've lost count.
This bitter taste you've left me with.
My blood on your hands is your final gift.
And if you think I'm a mistake,
Just break
It off
And if you think I'm a mistake,
Just break
It off
A dangerous upspring reflected on you,
Has the kids telling fairytales based off your lie.
The remorse of a princess who's mocked by her father,
A revolt to her majesty she bows out for life.
I know it seems like it's impossible, just to stop it all.
And if you think I'm a mistake
Just break
Imagine when your lungs are filling up with liquid
Intoxicated poison flowin' through your veins
It seems like nothing's changed
My purple neck is stating all that I'm against but.
I guess that's how we end up
When we're underwater
Mayday! mayday! this ships going down
And as your captain I'm ready to drown...
I'm gonna drown so deep in you
I'm gonna drown so deep in you
This necklace that you've got wrapped around my neck
Will choke me slowly to my death
And I'm into that
These weights are tied up to my legs
Sinking lifeless has never felt so peaceful
These waves are crashing all the same
Water washing through this sea of people
This necklace that you've got wrapped around my neck
Will choke me slowly to my death
And I'm into that
This necklace that you've got wrapped around my neck
Will choke me slowly to my death
And I'm into that
The purple on your neck,
Stating all that I'm against
This ship is going down
This ship is going down
Mayday! Mayday! this ships going down
And as your captain I'm ready to drown
It's been a good run,
But were fucked in this town
Now I'll close my eyes tight,
Till we sink to the ground
This necklace that you've got wrapped around my neck
Will choke me slowly to my death
Out in the city
(Really gone wasted trash)
This could get tricky
(Pretty gone wasted smashed)
Brown paper bags
{Really gone wasted trash)
Sippin' on mickeys
(Pretty gone wasted smashed)
I'm feelin' risky,
No girl can fix me
I'm feelin' funny,
They call us junkies
Walkin' on stars,
Blastin' off far
They left us for dead,
Forgot what we said
From the start we knew we were broken
This life is a glitch,
Something we should fix
From the start we were ghosts in the machine
This place is sketchy,
I'm feelin' tipsy
Out with the homies,
In with the crowds
I think your really
(Really gone wasted trashed)
I think your pretty
(Pretty gone wasted smashed)
Dreams of succedin'
(Rich, rich, I'm rich)
And heavy breathin'
(Pretty gone wasted, smashed)
My circuitry is wired
Imperfect I'm on fire
Do whatcha gotta I know you're lying
This girl is taking over
This girl is taking over
Oh, you've got your money but it ain't enough
Oh, you run your mouth but running ain't enough
Oh, your flashy cars and clothes, don't give a fuck
Oh oh oh, we run this town so just get lost
Just get lost
Just get lost
Move
You run your mouth but runnin' ain't enough
They left us for dead,
Forgot what we said
From the start we knew we were broken
This life is a glitch,
Something we should fix
