"Ghost Town" Lyrics

Right here in the middle of nowhere
I feel better than I've ever felt.
Right here in the middle of nowhere
I've found a deeper understanding of Self.

Nothing but nothing stretches in all directions.
I find myself as the intersection.
The beginning and ending, both sides of the fence,
where time is absent and thoughts are immense.

Where one road cuts through the fat of the land
to the bone of the rock, the flesh of the sand,
its harsh and its beautiful. It gives and takes back.
And you can tell its God's country 'cause everyones mad.

And the day is hot passion and the night is cold sin.
And blood wells up from every hole you dig.
Where there's more gold in the hills than you could ever hope to find,
and your soul exists just to wrestle with the sky.

In this grand expanse, every star speaks of Hope
and every cloud is a dream that a mountain let go,
be sure to ask yourself after we meet on the road,
"Were you talking to me or my ghost"

Slow down. This is my ghost town.
I've got to go now. Welcome home now.
Slow down. This is my ghost town.
You've got to know how I lost control.

This is my home, so nice of you to pass through
my gas station. Let me use it as a classroom.
Fast paced sands blast the hour glass groove
in this sour patch of earth that the map never knew.

There's crazy energy here, life Katmandu,
and it's nice to have a couple new souls to yap to,
and babble bout the stash of artifacts I've gathered
and I'd love to capture some of your laughter...

See, out here there ain't no Alize or mobsters,
so we jam to the rhythm of rattlesnake maracas.
There are lakes to ponder the depth of the water,
the voice of your Mother, the breath of your Father.

The next step is harder--The better part of forever
is sharper than you could ever comprehend.
It's close to torture. Don't say I didn't warn ya.
I'm just another ghost haunting this Hotel California.

At the end of the road - there's a field or a mountain
At the end of the road - is the house you grew up in
At the end of the road - you can finally sit and think
At the end of the road - there's an ocean to swim
At the end of the road - it's an eternal dream
At the end of the road - every answer you seek
At the end of the road - there's rumors of a gold mine
At the end of the road - the truth was waiting the whole time
At the end of the road - we let go of concerns
At the end of the road - there are no more wrong turns
At the end of the road - every day the dawn burns
At the end of the road - it's where i learned this song's words.
