Píseň: Ghosts In My Guitar

Interpret:
Billy Idol
Album:
Kings And Queens Of The Underground
Tommy cashed it in down on Avenue A
Didn’t have a reason
Didn’t have much more to say


Well, last time I saw him he was
Looking green
Y’know, some people never make it
Out of this scene


Like, Rudy took a hit around Chapter 9
Adios my friend, we had one hell of a time


When I think of you
There’s a voice in my head
That says without fire
We’re better off dead
And I thank you all


I’ll never forget
The ghosts in my guitar


Terry told me that she loved me true
Next time I looked around
She’d run off with you
Well, I was out there playing
‘round the world
No time to think about another lost girl


When I think of you
There’s a voice in my head
That says without fire
We’re better off dead
And I thank you all


I’ll never forget
The ghosts in my guitar
Ghosts in my guitar


Billy is my name
And you know me well
I’ve played every game and yes,
I walked into hell
And yes, down on my luck
I played the fool
Had you to live for
Now I’m back here for good


When I think of you
There’s a voice in my head
That says without fire
We’re better off dead
And I thank you all


Yes, I’ll never forget
The ghosts in my guitar
Ghosts in my guitar


The ghosts in my guitar
Will only take me so far
The ghosts in my guitar
‘cause I’ve got to walk on
