The Stranglers Ghost Train song lyrics

Taking a ride on the ghost train

Looking around at everyone

Taking a ride on the ghost train

Don't you know everyone

Wondering where they'll be taking the fare

Card sharping shooting one another for a comfortable chair

The passengers sit on the ghost train

On the ghost train, wondering when they'll arrive

The faces don't fit on the ghost train

On the ghost train, wondering if they will arrive

The driver is blind when there's snow on the line

He gets hard of hearing in the cabin when the weather is fine

Taking a ride on the ghost train

It's been a long long ride on the ghost train

It's been a long long ride on the ghost train

Long ride on the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train

Is there a man alive the ghost train

Who's qualified to drive the ghost train

Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

Claiming your seat on the ghost train

On the ghost train it don't come everyday

Claiming your seat on the ghost train

On the ghost train this train's speeding up as it enters the fray

There's only one class, the first and the last

The ghost train's picking up speed now it's travelling fast

Taking a ride on the ghost train

It's been a long long ride on the ghost train

It's been a long long ride on the ghost train

Long ride on the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train

Is there a man alive the ghost train

Who's qualified to drive the ghost train

Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train

Is there a man alive the ghost train

Who's qualified to drive the ghost train

Are you allowed to drive the ghost train

When will it arrive the ghost train

Is there a man alive the ghost train

Who's qualified to drive the ghost train

Are you allowed to drive the ghost train
