Welcome to the Ghost Train 04:22

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Ghost Train. Your ride has now started and cannot be cancelled. There is no panic button. There are no seatbelts. You can close your eyes if you like, but you cannot close your ears. So allow yourself to experience the thrill, the excitement, the danger of these eclectic, electric sounds. You may feel uncomfortable at times. Just remember: this is not a rollercoaster. We’re only heading one way now… Mwahahahaha Are you scared of the ghosts? Say hello to your host… I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed Fingers pointed at the girl are all just hypocrites… uh I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed. I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed. Fingers pointed at the girl when all she speaks is truth. I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed. All those in the cheap seats, clap your hands; all those in the expensive seats, rattle your bones. Yeah! Come on! I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed. Fingers pointed at the girl are all just hypocrites I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed Fingers pointed at the girl when all she speaks is I’m not angry at the world, I’m just disappointed Fingers pointed at the girl when all she speaks all she speaks all she speaks is truth

Lily Lovestar 04:18

Perfect lips, I’m fixated by your swaying hips, memorising every seam and stitch, eyes dilating when you look my way. You walk on stage and everyone starts screaming my heart is pounding and my chest is heaving I’ve got your picture on my bedroom ceiling Now I can’t sleep because I can’t stop dreaming Lily Lovestar - you look as hot as can be Lily Lovestar - you’re like a song I can see Pretty rock star - you’re every schoolboy’s dream Lily Lovestar - my midnight fantasy Some want to be with you and then some just want to be you and the whole world wants to see you when you sing and play When you step forward, all the hands reach for you They’ll talk for years about the day they saw you But they don’t feel like me; I can’t ignore you I know it’s tragic but I just adore you Chorus x 2 When you step forward, all the hands reach for you They’ll talk for years about the day they saw you But they don’t feel like me; I can’t ignore you I know it’s tragic but I just adore you
You walk on stage and everyone starts screaming my heart is pounding and my chest is heaving I’ve got your picture on my bedroom ceiling I lie awake because I can’t stop dreaming

Grenades 03:15
lyrics

I say she gave me her heart You say that is not her heart You say it’s a heart-shaped hand grenade I say she gave me her heart Why are you counting down 5-4-3-2-1? I’m sky high But my intentions are white How is it gonna be right? How can I ever diffuse these bombs? How is it gonna be right? Five pins caught on both my hands I’m sky high I’m sky high Here at the tipping point, my eyes are open wide I’m holding hand grenades, I’m not really sure why If I am all in vain, just know I always tried To put the pins back in

I promised The Sheriff a song back before it began I thought that the monkey was done, now he’s back in my hand Tired and restless, the money’s run dry like the sand The hourglass counting, and suddenly I understand - hey The apparitions’ war of attrition without permission will end the world So be cunning, stop running - they got it coming Let’s save the world So pull the mask away And watch the power fade Cos no-one’s afraid When the lights are on The smog is receding, the planes are lined up on the ground The streets are deserted, it’s warm but there’s no-one around With dolphins in Venice, the stag is about to be crowned I opened my eyes and you just won’t believe what I found The apparitions’ war of attrition without permission will end the world So be cunning, stop running - they got it coming Let’s save the world So pull the mask away And watch the power fade Cos no-one’s afraid When the lights are on The apparitions’ war of attrition without permission will end the world So be cunning, stop running - they got it coming Let’s save the world yeah The apparitions’ war of attrition without permission will end the world So be cunning, stop running - they got it coming Let’s save the world yeah Let’s save the world yeah

Fall on my Sword 03:58

Pins across the floor, yeah I’ve been here before, this’ll hurt you A hand too good to fold yet too heavy to hold and it hurts me I should be dancing in the rain, yet something in my brain is screaming screaming for days Making up my mind yeah, words are hard to find when they’ll hurt you Stepping on my way I know what I need to say and I got to I hope you’ll understand that I’m sinking in the sand, I need saving Should I just sink? What do you think? Maybe I should fall on my sword throw peace of mind overboard maybe the sweetest damn reward is to save your smile Waking up alone, letting out a groan cos I hurt you Picking up the phone bailing at the tone cos I hurt you Getting on my way, guess there’s nothing left to say, but I miss you And you’re blameless, yeah, and I’m sorry Maybe I should fall on my sword throw peace of mind overboard maybe the sweetest damn reward is just to save your smile Yeah - to save your smile Maybe I should fall on my sword Throw peace of mind clean overboard Maybe the sweetest damn reward is to save your smile Maybe I should fall on my sword Throw peace of mind overboard Maybe the sweetest damn reward is to save your smile yeah (ad lib) Maybe I should fall on my sword Throw peace of mind clean overboard Maybe the sweetest damn reward is to save your smile

Sunrise Open up your brown eyes Watching how the bird flies Underneath the clear skies It’s singing tally-i, tally-o, tally-i, tally-o Bare heels Lying in the green fields Splashing through the stream feels Like the way life should feel Singing tally-i, tally-o tally-i, tally-o, tally-i, tally-o Sunrise Everything is alright Fading into moonlight Share a kiss at midnight Then singing tally-i, tally-o tally-i, tally-o tally-i, tally-o Life is a whisper on the wind Running with the hare, flying with the owl Time is a whisper on the wind that blows through your hair I’m always there tally-i, tally-o tally-i, tally-o tally-i, tally-o

We fell in headfirst never feared the worst And with excited eyes, we smiled as we screamed Life was a dream Then the ghouls appeared worse than we feared And just too late, we start to see the strings Somebody sings… This ain’t a fairground ride This ain’t no rollercoaster The Ghost Train’s going down and down into the ground 5 miles down Yeah it’s taking us down 5 miles down And there’s no going back now 5 miles down Yeah baby’s riding, riding on the Ghost Train Riding on a Ghost Train And then one by one our friends are gone No, I don’t know where they smile in memories that nobody sees But I do see the machinery Cos the ghosts are men with masks that fall away So hear what I say This ain’t a fairground ride This ain’t no rollercoaster The Ghost Train’s going down and down into the ground 5 miles down Yeah it’s taking us down 5 miles down And there’s no going back now 5 miles down And baby’s riding, riding on the Ghost Train 5 miles down Yeah it’s taking us down 5 miles down And there’s no going back now 5 miles down I say that we’re all riding, riding on a Ghost Train We’re riding on a Ghost Train Ghost Train!
