The Western States Motel - Ghost Town lyrics

Since you've been away It's like Halloween day In my mind The sun is trading places With the moon And soon the ghosts will leave the places they hide Since I've been on my own Spending nights all alone It feels like Painted portrait eyes Follow me Side-to-side Walking the house at night Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town Even though there's millions of my neighbors around Late at night, all I hear is the sound Of the midnight howling winds since you left town Since I've been alone Doorknobs turn on their own In the night There's floating candlesticks Down the hall [?] I hold the covers down tight Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town Even though there's millions of my neighbors around Late at night, all I hear are the sounds Of creaky doors and the floors since you left town Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town You know, I barely get to sleep before dawn But tell me, what would you do If you had bats out your window and tombstones on the floorboards Going into the short-term parking lot You should be touching down around 4 o'clock And when you land, you'll be staring down At all the swimming pools And I'll be staring down the gate for the first sight of you The first sight of you Sometimes this place, it feels like a ghost town From Eagle Rock to Malibu But now you're back here with me And I don't have to sleep with the lights on in front of the TV
