"The Big Bad Turnpike Ghost" lyrics

"The Big Bad Turnpike Ghost"

I want to live like I did back then
With the stars in my eyes
And the blood from the heart on my pen
With my hood pulled up
In the light of the night
Like a ghost like a light
Like a ghost like a light
On the turnpike, baby

But you didn't lift my world off me
But you said let it go
So I did, now I see
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
You stop, life moves on
Then you wake up frightened
Saying what's going on
What's going on

I'm waking up tired
No god has appeared
I never gonna find my faith
If I stay here

So sorry for the things I said
But a lot of me died
When a part of her did
So sorry for the things I said
But a lot of me died
When a part of her did

But you didn't lift my world off me
But you said let it go
So I did, now I see
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
You stop, life moves on
Then you wake up frightened
Saying what's going on
What's going on

I'm waking up tired
No god has appeared
I never gonna find my faith
If I stay here
