The City and the Ghost
guitar chords lyrics
Tonight I need the bright lights,
Still got her face on my mind.
Heading where the talk is cheap
And I'm dressed to a "T" so they won't notice me.
It's warm for October
And I've got the windows down.
The skyline whispers her promises,
The same lie each night.
But I force myself to believe...
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
The city's a desert
With photographic stars.
Each pretty face is just a mirage,
And my mouth's full of sand again.
With photographic stars.
Each pretty face is just a mirage,
And my mouth's full of sand again.
But I force myself to believe,
Across the river's the cure for what's sick inside of me.
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
I look in the mirror past the buildings, the sky's getting light.
Another piece of my innocence is the admission I paid there tonight.
Slow down past her exit though it makes me sick, and I imagine her saying,
"You're better than this... you're better than this."
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came here to escape is right here inside of me.
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
Woah-woah
And I swore it'd be different
