Ghostwriter

[Verse 1]

I drove the highways of a skeleton coast

Salt and sea tapped mysteries into the keys

I wrote an opus of distorted truths

A symphony to crashing waves of victory

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh, I am a ghostwriter

Ooh-ooh, ooh, pretend I am forever young

Ooh-ooh, I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

[Verse 2]

Tamerlane, my poor soul in a last refrain

An endless storm rattles on my windowpane

The creaking floors, lost voices of a thousand wars

The fire roars

[Chorus]

Ooh-ooh, I am a ghostwriter

Ooh-ooh, ooh, pretend I am forever young

Ooh-ooh, I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

[Bridge]

How long can we sing the same old tired songs?

How long can we tread water?

The shore is only gettin' smaller

[Chorus]

I am a ghostwriter

Pretend I am forever young

And I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

Waiting for my day to come

To come
