Ghosts on Mass Avenue

from Hello Anxiety by The Burning Lights

/

lyrics

Lost in a dream on a dead end street
I'm a porcelain mannequin
Trying to be new again
I hit the bar and I claim defeat
Bastard heart and broken soul
Can’t escape and can’t let go

Watching
Waiting
There’s no negotiating
Falling
Fading
Out into the static

With the ghosts on Mass Avenue
Demons to dance with you
Let’s have a rendezvous
Up inside my head
Clashing like enemies
Dissonant melodies
I’m searching desperately
Please send a remedy
Please send me far far away

Please set me free from this prison cell
I’ve been locked in penitentiary
A quarter of a century
I’m losing faith and I’m losing sleep
I’ll play the martyr in this foolish game
Smashing empty picture frames

Turning
Straying
Always manipulating
Drifting
Burning

Ghosts on Mass Avenue
My heart is turning blue
Let’s have a rendezvous
Up inside my head
Move down to Franklin Street
Lost in the summer heat
You take the backseat
I’ll drive off a cliff
Fifty feet straight to the ground

And on the boulevard
We’re passing signs and chasing stars
And kissing in the rain
Getting drunk on cheap champagne
Then the signal to my brain
Starts to make me go insane
And I lose control
And my dirty hands take hold

Ghosts on Mass Avenue
My heart is black
Let’s have a rendezvous
Up inside my head
Dying to make a change
Desperate and so deranged
Help me to rearrange
All of the wires
To stop lighting fires

Ghosts on Mass Avenue
Ghosts on Mass Avenue
Let’s start the ignition
Let's burn this whole place to the ground
