Ghostwriter

Lyrics

[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
