Steel Train - Turnpike Ghost lyrics

I want to live like I did back then With the stars in my eyes And the blood from the heart of a pen With my hood pulled up In the light of the night I was smoke in the bed Like a ghost white light On the turnpike You didn't lift my world off me But you said to let it go So I did, now I see That my friends are gonna leave me If they don't believe that they can save me You don't have to live like that You don't have to live like that Like a bolt of lightning Your stoplight moves on And you wake up crying What's going on What's going on I'm waking up tired No god has appeared I never ever really Felt real faith in your fear You don't have to live like that You don't have to live like that I'm so sorry for the things I said For the light of me died When a part of her did Like a dream, it's a fear And it won't carry out I'm living easy Nightmare plant a seed In the garden of doubt You didn't lift my world off me But you said to let it go So I did, now I see That my friends are gonna leave me If they don't believe that they can save me You don't have to live like that You don't have to live like that Like a bolt of lightning Your stoplight moves on And you wake up crying What's going on What's going on I'm waking up tired No god has appeared And I never ever really Felt real faith in your fear Let me wash it away Let me wash it away You never ever really Felt real faith in your fear You don't have to live like that You don't have to live like that You don't have to live like that You don't have to live like that
