Small Town Ghosts Lyrics

No stars up above me

The city killed them slowly

And the moon is a birth right

Killed by the king’s pride

You know it’s hard living alone

How I miss my old country home

Five miles away from my window

Vultures are circling the city below

Oh Titans of the uptown

Old Hades keeps the souls down

And we knew it when the bees died

The last few that survived

We wear the scars of El Dorado

No one survives the city of gold

Always looked so pretty dressed in Hate City

Cut your heart on Hospital Hill

‘Cos I sold my Free State of mind

Traded hazy orange fields for machines on the skyline

And I stole the hunter’s line of sight

While my father’s bones spoke of the small town ghosts

And they say you can never go home

Such a pity though, wearing out our welcome

Say you’ll never go home, promise it though

We owe all the ghosts we know

No stars up above me

The city swallowed them wholly

And the moon is a street light

Denying my skyline

You know it’s hard living alone

How I miss my old country home

Five miles away from my window

Vultures are circling the city below
