Ghost Train - Rickie Lee Jones

Well I decided to take the bus

It was about 6:05

Cuz I could hardly walk

In fact, I was just barely alive

Under the bridges and over the street

Now every shadow that I meet

They all know my name

And they whisper

«What's a matter hon

Don’t you know you’re riding on the ghost train»

Jupiter Ray on the bus

I remember when Jupiter came to town

He was one of the best of us

Oh, that stuff can really take you down

Hey, Jupiter Ray is on the bus

I remember when Jupiter was alive

Come to think of it

You all have a strange translucence in your eyes

What’s a matter son?

Don’t you know you’re riding on the ghost train

You just buy your ticket

And get on board

This train don’t stop

Cuz we like to ride, ride ride ride

We just wanna ride, ride ride ride

Ding goes the trolley

Bang goes the bell

Somebody call my second cousin

I’m not feeling very well

This is where little blondes check-in their furs

This is where little blondes check-in their hat

Don’t worry about where you were at

We took care of that

Mr Driver is this my stop?

Mr Driver tell me how to get off

Any way you can, any way

Come back into the light

You wanna get to heaven

Take the devil by the hand

And you slide right into the promised land

Cuz this could be the night

And this could be the gate

Everybody’s waitin' for you darlin'

So don’t be late

What’s a matter honey?

Didn’t you pay your money for the ghost train?

Well I decided to take the bus

It was about 6:05

Cuz I could hardly walk

In fact, I was just barely alive
