Ghost Trains Dwon the Barrel of a Gun lyrics

Midnight crawling out through the undergrowth
Biding its time 'til my mind
Alone strays from this burning oath
There's hunger and mystery in store
But I don't want any more

I cry out to the sun
Oh my god, well just what have I done?
A love both lifelong and true
Is on the floor 'cos of things that I do
In the night and the rain on the run
From the darkness the monster has come
It takes me and laughs as we dance
And I stare at my very last chance
Down the barrel of a gun

Maybe once I was something to write about

But now the empire will fall
This war showers broadsides with ticker-tape
So sorry that I heard the call
'Cos I don't want any more

I cry out to the sun
Oh my god, well just what have I done?
A love both lifelong and true
Is on the floor 'cos of things that I do
In the night and the rain on the run
From the darkness the monster has come
It takes me and laughs as we dance
And I stare at my very last chance
Down the barrel of a gun
