The last train left the station floor
I'm pacing by the sliding door
My wings are wide and white as bone
In a city made of cold gray stone
I'm a ghost on a midnight fare
Sailing through the heavy air
No ticket in my golden claw
Just a hunger and a sudden draw
The tiles are cracked and smelling sour
I've waited for a lonely hour
A candy wrap blows down the track
There ain't no way of turning back
I'm a ghost on a midnight fare
Sailing through the heavy air
No ticket in my golden claw
Just a hunger and a sudden draw
I see a rat in a velvet coat
A tiny song inside his throat
He knows the routes the blind men take
And every rule the sleepers break
I'm a ghost on a midnight fare
Sailing through the heavy air
No ticket in my golden claw
Just a hunger and a sudden draw
The wind is whistling through the vent
A copper coin is nearly spent
I glide above the yellow line
Where the rusty iron cables twine
Old habits die a slow slow death
I hold it in a frozen breath
The tunnel is a hungry throat
And I'm a feather, I'm a boat
The morning light is coming fast
The quiet hour is gone at last
I'll find a beam in the rafters high
Until the moon owns the city sky
I'm a ghost on a midnight fare
Sailing through the heavy air
No ticket in my golden claw
Just a hunger and a sudden draw
Watch your step now.
End of the line.
