Town of Ghosts
We live in a ghost town
We live with our ghosts
Gave 'em names
Got a gift shop
And all the tourists come
A seance on the hour
Their souvenir terror
Take the selfies
Leave the litter
Plates o' paper
Bottled water
Disappear
Disappear
To the lights in the valley
Platelets on the highway
Yellow red yellow blurry
Leave us to our sleepy
Our knots along the ceiling
Our splintery, leave
Us with our sleeps
Take the selfies
Leave the litter
Plates o' paper
Bottled water
Disappear
Disappear
We live in a ghost town
We live with our ghosts
Gave 'em tales
Got a tea room
And all the tourists come
Take the selfies
Leave the litter
Plates o' paper
Bottled water
Disappear
Disappear
We live in a ghost town
We roll our own ghosts
Of paper white faces
Paper over the other
Blood red in the river
Nice place for the houses
Take the selfies
Leave the litter
Plates o' paper
Bottled water
Disappear
Disappear
