Ghost Town by The Red Ribbon Army Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This town has more ghost per square foot than I can remember
And these ghosts are all waiting for me
To give up and give in, realize I'm just like them
Nor visible or audible, I'm miserable and alone
And as I roam these streets
Lit only by the flashing lights meant to alert the weak
That their angel has come to pass them on
But I'm no angel, I'm just a ghost
[Chorus]
So let the sirens blare
'Cause death is in the air
This town's a graveyard
Of talent and broken dreams
And all I ever see
Is life in black and white
I just wish I knew someone
Who is grey like me
[Verse 2]
This town is home to many angels who are unlike me
Who found their place, found their purpose
Or just stopped caring
And year after year the fewer ghosts I see
It gets me thinking that the only ghost is me
As I ride in this transport vessel
For those about to be deceased
I, oh I try to save them
But there'll be no miracles from me
[Chorus]
So let the sirens blare
'Cause death is in the air
This town's a graveyard
Of talent and broken dreams
And all I ever see
Is life in black and white
I just wish I knew someone
Who is grey like me
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm only here to bare witness
To the end of all things
And I won't try to stop him
Or try to save you
'Cause my life means nothing
[Bridge]
This town has more ghost per square foot than I can remember
And these ghosts are all waiting for me
To give up and give in, realize I'm just like them
But I'm not like them, no I'm not like them
[Chorus]
So let the sirens blare
'Cause death is in the air
This town's a graveyard
Of talent and broken dreams
And all I ever see
Is life in black and white
I just wish I knew someone
Who is grey like me
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm only here to bare witness
To the end of all things
And I won't try to stop him
Or try to save you
'Cause my life means nothing
This town has more ghost per square foot than I can remember
And these ghosts are all waiting for me
To give up and give in, realize I'm just like them
Nor visible or audible, I'm miserable and alone
And as I roam these streets
Lit only by the flashing lights meant to alert the weak
That their angel has come to pass them on
But I'm no angel, I'm just a ghost
[Chorus]
So let the sirens blare
'Cause death is in the air
This town's a graveyard
Of talent and broken dreams
And all I ever see
Is life in black and white
I just wish I knew someone
Who is grey like me
[Verse 2]
This town is home to many angels who are unlike me
Who found their place, found their purpose
Or just stopped caring
And year after year the fewer ghosts I see
It gets me thinking that the only ghost is me
As I ride in this transport vessel
For those about to be deceased

But there'll be no miracles from me
[Chorus]
So let the sirens blare
'Cause death is in the air
This town's a graveyard
Of talent and broken dreams
And all I ever see
Is life in black and white
I just wish I knew someone
Who is grey like me
[Post-Chorus]
'Cause I'm only here to bare witness
To the end of all things
And I won't try to stop him
Or try to save you
'Cause my life means nothing
[Bridge]
