There's a ghost in town

That needs to amplify

10 feet high

She never knew what it was

She never just what it's like

To feel alive

So the story goes

That only for tonight a ghost arrives

Hey stay, don't fade away

You're passing through this way

Hey stay don't fade away you're passing through this way

And so the story goes

That only for tonight a ghost arrives

In the haunts we know

Where we used to go

To feel alive

Hey stay

You're passing through this way

Hey stay don't fade away
