Ghost Train Lyrics - Flying Cowboys - Rickie Lee Jones

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!
