lyrics

I like the morning lights
Ghostrider flying down 60k an hour
Crooner scratching at the trodden earth
I open wide and swallow up this town

And the cars pass by
But I ain’t left behind

Bags of sand a half smoked cigarette
I finally got that park right by the front door
Now I’m walking onto a movie set
Forgot to get that paint up off the floor

Kiss the girls goodnight
Bronte burst behind my eyes

And comes a flash and then it drags
You might as well see what’s waiting round the bend
There’s a joker hiding in your hand
But don’t lay it down no matter where you stand

Then it’s just another day
Mop the floor forget the paint
A black hole wanders place to place
Light rushes in to fill its wake

What a jungle brick and wire
And the same rules apply

And comes a flash and then it drags
You might as well see what’s waiting round the bend
There’s a joker hiding in your hand
But don’t lay it down no matter where you stand

Do you see the tunnel lights
Stretching on and on until they disappear
Oh my head’s on fire
March I’m piling stores for the new year
In March I’m piling stores for the new year
