They boarded up the houses
Now the thunder’s echoing
The sound of summer weeping
Like a violin

Souls in touching distance
But my fingers go right through
Give up my resistance
At the thought of you

You left me living in a ghost town
I’ve been dying in the light
Picked me up and laid me low down
Stuck here on the dark side
I’m just living in a ghost town
Am I the only one alive
Don’t let me slip into the dark ground
Cause I ain’t ready for no afterlife

Up ahead I see a figure
A shape against the sky
Now I think I see the devil
In every passer by

Complete in isolation
Like I landed on the moon
But the fight to feel existence
Fades too soon

You left me living in a ghost town
I’ve been dying in the light
Picked me up and laid me low down
Stuck here on the dark side
I’m just living in a ghost town
Am I the only one alive
Don’t let me slip into the dark ground
Cause I ain’t ready for no afterlife

You stole the light
(Dark days are coming too soon)
Left me half alive
(Following the ghost of you)
Am I just playing dead
(Wait for the mountains to move)
Living in some afterlife

You left me living in a ghost town
I’ve been dying in the light
Picked me up and laid me low down
Stuck here on the dark side
I’m just living in a ghost town
Am I the only one alive
Don’t let me slip into the dark ground
Cause I ain’t ready for no afterlife
