Ghostrunner

Where'd they go, the million or so
Ghostrunners
We pulled from the sky and sent round the diamond
In gold summer
Some made it home
Some made it home

Some got high, flew right by
The branches and the years
Some grew strange, far out of range
Devils in their ears
Some walk the night, wound too tight
Tuned like a mandolin
And wait for a sun that may never come
The love song of Ann Boleyn
Some kept their heads
Some kept their heads

I used to run beneath Ohio sun
Burn in the Florida heat
Body blessed, effortless
Lightning at my feet
But the moonlight's rude and it shines right through
When you're a ghost on the run
And its show your age, how you can't keep pace
Like you did when you were young
Chasing visions and dreams
Chasing visions and dreams

When I'm moving fast
When I'm moving fast
When I'm moving fast
When I'm moving fast
When I'm moving fast
When I'm moving fast
I don't think about the past

One day you will slip on your shoes
And quietly slip out the door
Legs will twitch, you'll feel that old itch
But not the weight anymore
You'll run through the night, your feet all light
And effortless
Legs will churn, ain't no concern
Passing your old address
You'll make it home

I was the boy who had to be ghostrunner
I was the boy who had to be ghostrunner
I was the boy who had to be ghostrunner
I was the boy who had to be ghostrunner
Yeah, I was the boy who had to be ghostrunner
I was the boy born to be ghostrunner

Empty roads full of potholes
And ghostrunners
