Ghost Town by The Western States Motel Lyrics

Since you've been away
It's like Halloween day
In my mind
The sun is trading places
With the moon
And soon the ghosts will leave the places they hide

Since I've been on my own
Spending nights all alone
It feels like
Painted portrait eyes
Follow me
Side-to-side
Walking the house at night

Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town
Even though there's millions of my neighbors around
Late at night, all I hear is the sound
Of the midnight howling winds since you left town

Since I've been alone
Doorknobs turn on their own
In the night
There's floating candlesticks
Down the hall
[?] I hold the covers down tight
Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town
Even though there's millions of my neighbors around
Late at night, all I hear are the sounds
Of creaky doors and the floors since you left town

Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town
You know, I barely get to sleep before dawn
But tell me, what would you do
If you had bats out your window and tombstones on the floorboards

Going into the short-term parking lot
You should be touching down around 4 o'clock
And when you land, you'll be staring down
At all the swimming pools
And I'll be staring down the gate for the first sight of you
The first sight of you

Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town
From Eagle Rock to Malibu
But now you're back here with me
And I don't have to sleep with the lights on in front of the TV
