STEEL TRAIN LYRICS - Turnpike Ghost

"Turnpike Ghost"



I want to live like I did back then

With the stars in my eyes

And the blood from the heart of a pen

With my hood pulled up

In the light of the night

I was smoke in the bed

Like a ghost white light

On the turnpike



You didn't lift my world off me

But you said to let it go

So I did, now I see

That my friends are gonna leave me

If they don't believe that they can save me



You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that



Like a bolt of lightning

Your stoplight moves on

And you wake up crying

What's going on

What's going on



I'm waking up tired

No god has appeared

I never ever really

Felt real faith in your fear



You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that



I'm so sorry for the things I said

For the light of me died

When a part of her did



Like a dream, it's a fear

And it won't carry out

I'm living easy

Nightmare plant a seed

In the garden of doubt



You didn't lift my world off me

But you said to let it go

So I did, now I see

That my friends are gonna leave me

If they don't believe that they can save me



You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that



Like a bolt of lightning

Your stoplight moves on

And you wake up crying

What's going on

What's going on



I'm waking up tired

No god has appeared

And I never ever really

Felt real faith in your fear



Let me wash it away

Let me wash it away

You never ever really

Felt real faith in your fear



You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that

You don't have to live like that
