Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's cloudy in the west, it looks like rain My eyes are black holes and I'm burning away You slaughtered your loving man Killed him in his sleep And the blood and crying of your murder Simply stains your sheets [Chorus] You're a ghost on the highway Your gesture is meaningless You're lost to the living men Trailing souls to the end [Verse 2] You thought winning as a woman meant failing as a friend It is not an art statement to drown a few passionate men You made yourself a diamond To blind young men's eyes You claim because they want your shine They deserve to walk the line [Chorus] You're a ghost on the highway Your gesture is meaningless You're lost forever to the living men Trailing souls to the end, oh [Verse 3] Oh, but yes, I would give you my love So my soul would not starve But, it could never move the honest rock Of what you really are [Chorus] A ghost on the highway You're like straw and meaningless And I hate you, but I love you And I'll carry that to the end [Verse 4] If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep And If I ever closed my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me You are simply a liar An animal who bluffs and steals Until you become A bigger creature's meal [Chorus] You're a ghost on the highway You're trash and meaningless I hate you, but I love you And I'll carry that to the end [Outro] Like a ghost on the highway Like a ghost on the highway Oh, lost on the highway You're lost on the highway Oh
