Lyrics Rickie Lee Jones

Rickie Lee Jones

Ghost Train

Well I decided to take the bus

It was about six o five

'Cuz I could hardly walk

In fact, I was just bearing

Under the bridge and over the street

Now every shadow that I meet

They all know my name

And they whisper, "Oh what's the matter Hon?

Don't you know you're ridin' on a ghost train?"

Jupiter Ray on the bus

I remember when Jupiter came to the town

Man, he was one of the best of us

Oh, that stuff can really take you down

Hey, Jupiter Ray is on the bus

I remember when Jupiter was alive

Come to think of it you all have a strange translucence in your eyes

What's the matter son?

Don't you know you're ridin' on the ghost train

You somewhere

You just buy your ticket and get on board

This train don't stop 'cuz we like to ride ride ride ride

We just wanna ride and ride ride ride

Ding goes the trolley

Ooh bang goes the bell

Somebody call my second cousin

Oh I'm not feelin' very well

This is where little blondes check in their furs

This is where little blondes check in their hat

Don't worry about where you were?

We took care of that

Mr Driver is this my stop ?

Mr Driver tell me how to get off

Any way you can, anyway come back into the light

But you wanna get to heaven

You take the devil by the hand

And you slide right into the promised land

'Cuz this could be the night

And this could be the gate

Everybody's waitin' for you darlin'

So don't be late

What's the matter honey ?

Didn't you pay your money for the ghost train?

Well I decided to take the bus

It was about six o five

'Cuz I could hardly walk

In fact, I was just barely alive

Ooh!
