Ghost Trains Because lyrics

You told me to write you a letter
Now you're feeling so much better
And you say though we pray
That the sins of the day
Will bind us all together

You want to believe it's that easy
To drop the sick and the sleazy
But I know you of old
And your heart remains cold
I've found new tastes to tease me

Horror movies and quicksand
A landscape fit for a fool damned to dream
And man how the dream bites the ass out of life
And all because, because, because

A dog in a pit takes its chances
Your clueless wit romances
The goon that you hide
‘Til the new prison bride
Makes normal grow strange branches


You jealousy gloats like a winner
But face-rubbed I'm not bitter
And clinical turns
Of the key start to burn
In the straightest jacket this winter

And when you fall, you may fall
From a clifftop in Hollywood
But your make-up still runs
Like a hooker's in the rain
And blood and tears won't wash away
The debt you need to pay

Horror movies and quicksand
A landscape fit for a fool damned to dream
And man how the dream bites the ass out of life
And all because, because, because
