Ghost Town

Shoe boxes full of photographs and love letters Shotgun shells, a couple crow feathers Kill a pack of camels as the morning sun breaks Through my bedroom window in the Hollywood drug maze Catch a high from the lights or the spike I've been selling off my worries every night Good advice needed, bad advice taken Still waiting at the same train station All my friends are ghosts and they've got no faces Dance around with pockets full of posie till' we faded Fall away and shedding skin hiding all the mess I'm in Wrote a song about suicide and named it medicine I wish time was just an hourglass But life is so short, one day it'll all pass For today I'm open wide as an eagle glides Cutting all these knives at the angles of my evil side I've been waiting on an angel - this whole time I've been lost and I've tangoed - to survive Yeah I painted till' the pain goes - goodbye Yeah I chase and I race for - a good life I've been waiting on an angel - this whole time I've been lost and I've tangoed - to survive Yeah I painted till' the pain goes - goodbye Yeah I chase for a taste of - a good life Summer skin with my winter eyes Hunting and searching for something that's always been inside Till' the tides run low and I'm standing At the beach side while the palm trees blow A calm breeze grows but I still feel nervous All these accidents I did it on purpose The hermit cracked the shell and I Flipped my last penny in the lucky wishing well Time killing like murder All these bodies filling out the floor further Heaven's high and hell is down, wonder where the hell I'm now Somewhere in the hills at sun set above this ghost town Smoke clouds float around, this fool's golden crown Used to drop a jewel, I just hold em' now Hang it up and call it quits, cut your heart and slit your wrists Or start to smile at the fact that you don't know what it is Is this house haunted or I'm to blame Walked passed the mirror and I didn't see a damn thing
