The Ghost of Lincoln by The Wilder Blue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Ashes of a star
Swirlin' in our veins
I think of all the history come before and mysteries accounted for
And many more that we still can't explain
As we sit out by the garden where the humming birds are fightin' over flowers
[Verse 2]
So you read the news
Everything that's goin' wrong
Started out your mornin' with a warnin' 'bout the thunderclouds formin' and which side we should be on
But when I look at the world, I don't see sides, I see facets of a giant cosmic disco ball
[Chorus]
And I see us all
Flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Tell the ghost of Lincoln hе can drive
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Learnin' what it means to bе alive
[Verse 3]
Ripples spreadin' out
Dancers in a line
Older than we've ever been, we'll never be this young again
Never know when we'll run out of time
As we race along the razor's edge and look over the window ledge
At canyons of hope and misery
[Chorus]
Won't you come with me and go
Flyin' down the mountainside? Smell the brakes burnin'
Tell the ghost of Lincoln he can drive
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Learnin' what it means to be alive
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Let's go flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Tell the ghost of Lincoln he can drive
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Learnin' what it means to be alive
We'll go flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Ashes of a star
Swirlin' in our veins
I think of all the history come before and mysteries accounted for
And many more that we still can't explain
As we sit out by the garden where the humming birds are fightin' over flowers
[Verse 2]
So you read the news
Everything that's goin' wrong
Started out your mornin' with a warnin' 'bout the thunderclouds formin' and which side we should be on
But when I look at the world, I don't see sides, I see facets of a giant cosmic disco ball
[Chorus]
And I see us all
Flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Tell the ghost of Lincoln hе can drive
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Learnin' what it means to bе alive

We'll go flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
Flyin' down the mountainside, smell the brakes burnin'
Spinnin' in a wheel within a wheel that's always turnin'
