ghost town


written walking home in the cold from a night club in bangor, northern ireland, year 2000. everywhere was iced up and so dead. in fact there was no sign of life...i only found out later there was already a song called ghost town by the specials.

written - winter 2000

lyrics -

each cloud that lands on my shoulder
sure scares the hell out of me
each day i'm not getting older
it sure scares the hell out of me

footsteps in the dark
surround an empty heart
shadows fall
upon a hidden wall
nobody waits around in search of the ghost town

each sky is dark and unfriendly
it sure scares the shit out of me
each ghost endeavours to find me
it sure scares the hell out of me

lamposts in the wind
defend a devil from within
noises fade
until the silence waits
nobody hangs around in search of the ghost town
