There's a ghost on the road and he's looking for me tonight

Searching for something in the darkness and the light

There's something's telling him he's got to be right

Searching for the key to eternal life

Just a step behind and on the wrong side he goes

And if I was to guess I would say there was something wrong

There's such a heavy load to carry on your own

Nobody checks for speed

The curve is dead ahead

The fog is too thick

And the train, too big

And thе world seems so far away

I know I forgot to call at the end of day

Pleasе believe me when I say

We were never very good at playing the game

Now you're thinking that you wanted to make yourself a deal

You've got to listen to the words that are written on the battlefield

And if you start to think that it's too good to be real

The ghost will come and there's nothing to fear

And the world seems so far away

I know I forgot to call at the end of the day

Please believe me when I say

We were never very good at playing the game

Then I heard this voice above

And it sang sweet, sweet songs

And I can't see what's ahead of me

Afraid I'm lost, been too long at sea

I don't mind doing time

If the word will be my crime

There's a ghost on the road and he's looking for me tonight

Searching for something in the darkness and the light

There's something's telling him he's got to be right

Searching for the key to eternal life
