The Bicycles - Ghost Town lyrics

The colour's drained away, all the streets are bleeding perfumes And in the checkout lines a couple jilted teary bridegrooms The lips all stretch and dance about And talk of days and months spent lying about I tried to walk to your place but my bones skipped out Yeah, this is a ghost town Every friday night another place 'round here goes up for sale And the place where lovers met was quarantined after the fallout scare We wave from cars like presidents And the weeds crowed out the monuments I can't wait until your letter's sent Yeah, this is a ghost town Maybe the ground opened up And swallowed everyone up It's just you and me so comfortably The news out on the wire's of a cruise ship lost out at sea The security guard slept as a bull ran through the gallery Some take up residence in funeral homes Some hang thier fuzzy dice in the catacombs Alexander Graham Bell's crying on the telephone Yeah, this is a ghost town
