Take the ghost train away from freedom

One minute you're there and the next you're not

The game's called surprise



Guess the change has come

And the worst part about it is

You don't know what you've done



Ghost train, ghost train

You get a one way ticket on a ghost train



It leaves no time to ponder

No time to change your shoes

It's a fast paced game that you're certain to lose



When you hear that whistle blowing

Just stop what you're doing

You gotta get that train on the road to ruin



Ghost train, ghost train

You get a one way ticket on a ghost train



The compartment is so tiny

There's only room for one

The conductor is so huge

That he blocks out the sun



You can reach for the cord

But don't try to pull it

The windows are one way

So you can't see through it
