Ghost In The City

from Modern Ruins by Tim Bowness / Peter Chilvers

/

lyrics

A slave to the moment,
You cry in the night.
You drink yourself senseless
Remembering old fights.

You put the cards on the table,
Raise your hands, touch your hair.
For as long as you’re able,
You’ll climb up those stairs.

No-one cares what you stand for,
No-one knows who you’ve been.
You’re a ghost in the city,
Alone and unseen.

You put the cards on the table,
Raise your hands, touch your hair.
You miss your rides in the country,
You miss the two-bit affairs.

You had kids, you had sparkle,
You knew love, you had time.
You found light in the darkness,
Now you’ve nothing to find.

You’ve reached the finishing line.

You’re a ghost in the city,
Alone and unseen.
