There's a ghost on the road and he's looking for me tonight
Searching for something in the darkness and the light
There's something's telling him he's got to be right
Searching for the key to eternal life

Just a step behind and on the wrong side he goes
And if I was to guess I would say there was something wrong
There's such a heavy load to carry on your own

Nobody checks for speed
The curve is dead ahead
The fog is too thick
And the train, too big

And thе world seems so far away
I know I forgot to call at the end of day
Pleasе believe me when I say
We were never very good at playing the game

Now you're thinking that you wanted to make yourself a deal
You've got to listen to the words that are written on the battlefield
And if you start to think that it's too good to be real
The ghost will come and there's nothing to fear

And the world seems so far away
I know I forgot to call at the end of the day
Please believe me when I say
We were never very good at playing the game
Then I heard this voice above
And it sang sweet, sweet songs
And I can't see what's ahead of me
Afraid I'm lost, been too long at sea
I don't mind doing time
If the word will be my crime

There's a ghost on the road and he's looking for me tonight
Searching for something in the darkness and the light
There's something's telling him he's got to be right
Searching for the key to eternal life
