Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Fluorescent lights flicker low Washing machines start to flow Three AM on a dead-end street Trying to find some dryer heat Smell of bleach and cheap soap Tying up a frayed rope Cold fog in the midnight air Giving back a hollow stare [Pre-Chorus] Open the door to number nine Found a life I left behind Plastic sleeve and a faded view Looking like a world I knew [Chorus] Spinning in the midnight chrome Far away from any home I’m the ghost on every block Running from the ticking clock Burn the plan they made for me Finally I’m wild and free Watch the 808s descend To the very bitter end [Verse] Smiling faces in the park Now I’m hiding in the dark Graduation in the sun Now I’m always on the run The suit and tie didn't fit So I went and buried it Found a picture of a boy Trading every childhood joy [Pre-Chorus] Shadows dance on the tile floor I don't live there anymore Every face is just a mask Don't you even dare to ask [Chorus] Spinning in the midnight chrome Far away from any home I’m the ghost on every block Running from the ticking clock Burn the plan they made for me Finally I’m wild and free Watch the 808s descend To the very bitter end [Bridge] Sirens wailing in the rain Washing out the inner pain Piano loops inside my head Living like I’m already dead But I feel the heavy bass Moving to a different place [Verse] Flip the page to eighty-four Someone’s crying on the floor Is that me or just a ghost? The version that I hate the most Leave the book on the plastic chair Dissolve into the midnight air No more names and no more lies Watching as the city dies [Chorus] Spinning in the midnight chrome Far away from any home I’m the ghost on every block Running from the ticking clock Burn the plan they made for me Finally I’m wild and free Watch the 808s descend To the very bitter end [Post-Chorus] Let the cowbell hit the vein Driving through the mental drain Just a drifter in the night Staying out of every light [Outro]
