| Hear the train whistle blow rolling down the line
|
| Come to rescue this heart of mine
|
| Hear the rumble and roar of the moonlight express
|
| Our one last chance at a better world than this
|
| (All aboard)
|
| A better world than this
|
| (All aboard)
|
| Every traveler sat silent as a stone
|
| A lot like but not quite flesh and bone
|
| Yet I would not be dulled or driven to fright
|
| By a train of the lost souls in the half light
|
| Then a voice
|
| From a hooded robe
|
| Of black
|
| Whispered, «Pale to me, here we go
|
| There ain’t no
|
| Turning back»
|
| «All aboard», cried the train guy
|
| Make ready for your magic mountain ride
|
| Say goodbye to the world down below us
|
| Here’s your one-way ticket to the other side
|
| All aboard, the ghost train
|
| Drop all your trappings at the door
|
| Wave goodbye to the boy in the window
|
| You won’t be seeing him anymore
|
| Whoa, oh, whoa, whoa
|
| Like a bat outta hell we shot into space
|
| While down below in the blue-green glow, I saw a weeping face
|
| It was the face of a child that cut me to the bone
|
| And I heard him say, «Don't go away, a-papa please come home»
|
| Had no clue
|
| As to who was crying
|
| In the dark
|
| But it hurt so bad
|
| That I certainly had
|
| A change of heart
|
| «All aboard», cried the train guy
|
| Make ready for your magic mountain ride
|
| Say goodbye to the world down below us
|
| Here’s your one-way ticket to the other side
|
| All aboard, the ghost train
|
| Drop all your trappings at the door
|
| Wave goodbye to the boy in the window
|
| You won’t be seeing him anymore
|
| (All aboard)
|
| Oh no no
|
| (All aboard)
|
| Oh no no, whoa, whoa
|
| And so I left off the train, fell into my skin
|
| Through mountains of Peru back to the land of the living
|
| To a cottage in the woods into the arms of a woman
|
| Who held my head to her belly and a-said, «We're gonna have a son»
|
| (We're gonna have son)
|
| Mmh, we’re gonna have son
|
| (We're gonna have son)
|
| All aboard
|
| All aboard
|
| All aboard
|
| The ghost train |
