Phaedrus
Lyrics:
There's a ghost on the road and he's looking for me tonight.
Searching for something in the darkness and the light.
There's
something's telling him he's got to be right.
Searching for the key
to eternal life.
Just a step behind and on the wrong side he
goes,
And if I was to guess I would say there was something wrong.
There's such a heavy load to carry on your own.
Nobody checks for
speed,
The curve is dead ahead,
The fog is too thick,
And the
train, too big.
And the world seems so far away,
I know I
forgot to call at the end of day.
Please believe me when I say,
We were never very good at playing the game.
Now you're thinking that
you wanted to make yourself a deal.
You've got to listen to the words that are
written on the battlefield.
And if you start to think that it's too
good to be real.
The ghost will come and there's nothing to fear.
And the world seems so far away,
I know I forgot to call at the
end of the day.
Please believe me when I say,
We were never very
good at playing the game.
Then I heard this voice above,
And it
sang sweet, sweet songs.
And I can't see what's ahead of me,
Afraid I'm lost, been too long at sea.
I don't mind doing time,
If
the word will be my crime.
There's a ghost on the
road and he's looking for me tonight.
Searching for something in the
darkness and the light.
There's something's telling him he's got to
be right.
Searching for the key to eternal life.
