Lyrics

Just like Sinister
She's going where the winds blow
Just like Sinister
She's going where the weak feel glows
That's right, heavenly blue
She'll sing songs of sad days to come
La la la la la la la la la
Just like Sinister
She's going where the hearts beat
Just like Sinister
She's moving with streamlined grace
That's right, heavenly blue
She'll paint empty beaches black skies
La la la la la la la la la
She got you fried to the back teeth
With your head hanging down
She got a needle in your eye, boy
See all your blood running out
You're rolling on empty tracks
You're not gonna rest in peace
Won't let you fall through the cracks
Get off the ghost train
Just like Sinister
She's going where the wind blows
Just like Sinister
She'll keep you warm, keep you cool
Get your money well spent
Like heavenly blue
She'll paint empty beaches black skies
La la la la la la la la la
She got you fried to the back teeth
With your head hanging down
She got a needle in your eye, boy
See all your blood running out
You're rolling on empty tracks
You're not gonna rest in peace
Won't let you fall through the cracks
Get off the ghost train
I don't care what she says or when she's there
Such a sad and cold
She got you fried to the back teeth
With your head hanging down
She got a needle in your eye, boy
See all your blood running out
You're rolling on empty tracks
You're not gonna rest in peace
Won't let you fall through the cracks
Get off the ghost train
You're rolling on empty tracks
Get off the ghost train
Get off the ghost train
