Ghost Train To Nowhere (Gift Horse Album Version)

It's a sinners dream when the whistle screams

Calling "All aboard you fools and hard-hearted"

Ever circling back on a one way track

They pull into the station where they started

Some arriving when they think they've just departed

But they're not going anywhere

Lost souls when they've landed there choose to stay like prisoners unguarded

All hope is abandoned here 'cause they know the engineer

Ghost Train to Nowhere

They pass a thousand concrete pillars and never see a single tree

Grey sky eyes begging for a little sleep

Down the same dark tunnels past the same empty streets

The cigarette smoke chokes, the coffee's weak

And they cry "oh..."

It's a funeral pyre belching smoke and fire

All luxeries, amenities discarded

It circles back on a one way track

Pulling into the station where where it started

Ghost Train to Nowhere...

They search eternal winter landscapes

For images of loved ones and home

Though every seat and aisle is crowded

They have never felt so all alone

While suffering is assured and silence is preferred

Most everybody weeps though they don't speak a word

They just cry "oh..."

They sigh..."o-o-h-h..."

It's a sinners dream when the whistle screams

Calling "All aboard you fools and hard-hearted"

Ever circling back on a one way track

They pull into the station where they started

Some arriving when they think they've just departed

But they're not going anywhere

Lost souls when they've landed there choose to stay like prisoners unguarded

All hope is abandoned here 'cause they know the engineer

Ghost Train to Nowhere...
