lyrics

“Phone Call From A Ghost”

VERSE ONE
I got a phone call from a ghost
And I’ll tell you what
It scared me straight
It scared me straight

VERSE TWO
We raised a glass to toast
And I’ll tell you what
We drank to fate
We drank to fate

CHORUS
When the past is coming at you like a runaway train
And the future ain’t much brighter than a stoplight in the rain
Well now’s the time to get off before it all goes up in flames
I got a phone call from a ghost and it knew my name

VERSE THREE
I got a letter from a man
He said he saw you last
It wasn’t good
It wasn’t good

VERSE FOUR
The doctor was moving slow
And you’d been driving fast
It wasn’t good
It wasn’t good

CHORUS
When the past is coming at you like a runaway train
And the future ain’t much brighter than a stoplight in the rain
Well now’s the time to get off before it all goes up in flames
I got a letter from a man and he knew your name

BRIDGE
This house was always haunted
That’s why it never was a home
We felt ‘em grow, from head to toe
And it shook us to our bones

CHORUS
When the past is coming at you like a runaway train
And the future ain’t much brighter than a stoplight in the rain
Well now’s the time to get off before it all goes up in flames
I got a phone call from a ghost and it knew my name
I got a phone call from a ghost
