Ghost Town Of My Brain |
| I like to go out walking in the ghost-town of my brain. |
| Kick the rusted scrap-iron of my memories and dreams. |
| Yeah, here’s a busted compass… look, the needle’s standing still. |
| Much as some folks hate to lose their way, me, I pray to God that I will. |
| I got a confession; |
| I never ever had no appetite for pain. |
| So it’s a mystery to me why I like walking in the ghost-town… |
| ghost-town of my brain. |
| I’m on a coal train headed south, guess we’re bound for Birmingham. |
| Thick as thieves with a black girl twice as messed-up as I am. |
| The smile upon her face betrays the sorrow in her heart. |
| Like the testimony of a fun house mirror that some fool broke apart. |
| Girl listen here; |
| you’re just a leaf caught in God’s secret hurricane. |
| And on this cold and dark wild midnight you are dancing in the ghost-town… |
| ghost-town of my brain. |
| Feel them magnets in the shadows? |
| Hear the voice of tranger virtue? |
| Take no comforts with them specters 'cause you know that they can hurt you. |
| Sweet mother load of secrets, feed my wild and endless hunger. |
| Seek the misty trail beyond the veil where the world gets torn asunder. |
| Gimme needles in the haystacks, Lord and riddles in the rain… |
| 'cause I like to go out walking in the ghost-town…ghost-town of my brain. |
