lyrics

GHOST TOWN - lyrics by Elyce and Benjamin Russell

You might have been a ghost
But I found you stimulating
You might have been a fraud
I might have been deceived
But I wanted to believe
Every lie you told me

He she they them - there's a problem
Going round and round
Everybody's disappearing
In this new ghost town

You might have been a friend
Ticked off every box
And I'd been waiting
But you weren't who you seemed
I know I was deceived
But I wanted to believe
Now your contact's cleaned

He she they them - there's a problem
Going round and round
Everybody's disappearing
In this new ghost town
Ghost town, ghost town - when you shut down
Makes me insecure
If we can't get past the first step
How can we endure?

Nearly was amazing - we really came quite close
Of all the ghosts who've left me
I miss you the most
Your daddy left you, and your mama too
Your brother and your sisters
Want nothing more from you
And yeah, I know, I get it
It's what you're trained to do
But it's so frustrating
You refuse to see the truth

Ghost town, ghost town - what a letdown
Houses built on sand
Little breezes blow them down
All across ghost land

Ghost town, ghost town - when you shut down
Makes me insecure
If we can't get past the first step
How can we endure?
He she they them - there's a problem
Going round and round
Everybody's disappearing
In this new ghost town
