Ghostville Lyrics

We took the train into Ghostville

Packed a paper bag of sandwiches

Maggie took out her compass

And pointed the way right before the glass fogged up

We were ripples in the puddle

The day we climbed the hill

On top of Ghostville

And all the shadows carrying pink suitcases

Speaking the French language

Whispering about love's green bed and blue banquet

We were ripples in the puddle

The day we climbed the hill

On top of Ghostville

There was a drug store on main street

Selling girl scout cookies in the front

And Maggie said to the girl

"We'll take one pack of the coconut ones"

Well most the pack was gone

And our stomachs felt all wrong

When we were halfway up the hill

On the day we took the train into Ghostville

And all the shadows carrying pink suitcases

Speaking the French language

Whispering about love's green bed and blue banquet

We were ripples in the puddle

The day we climbed the hill

On top of Ghostville

Well they say that a city

Set upon a hill cannot be hid

If that's true all the spirits

Watched Maggie and I eat the sandwiches

We were a city of thought

A city of hearts

The two of us there wishing we'd brought

A warm blanket

And all the shadows wearing black coats

Talking about the kosmos

Clapping in the theater at plays

And screaming bravo

We were ripples in the puddle

The day we climbed the hill

On top of Ghostville
