Ghostwriter - The Lawrence Arms

I drove the highways of a skeleton coast

Salt and sea, tapped mysteries into the keys

I wrote an opus of distorted truths

A symphony to crashing waves of victory

Oo, I am a ghostwriter

Oo, pretend I am forever young

Oo, I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

Tamerlane, my poor soul in a last refrain

An endless storm rattles on my windowpane

The creaking floors, lost voices of a thousand wars

The fire roars

Oo, I am a ghostwriter

Oo, pretend I am forever young

Oo, I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

How long

Can we sing the same old tired songs?

How long

Can we tread water?

The shore is only getting smaller

I am a ghostwriter

Pretend I am forever young

And I bleed every ribbon dry

Waiting for my day to come

Waiting for my day to come

To come
