The Ghost Inside
She sold her love to a modern man
Good solid currency's the hardest to land
All of that money helps you cover your ass
Don't let the ladyfinger blow in your hand
Did it all
For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Just like a whiskey bottle, drained on the floor
She got no future, just a life to endure
This good Samaritan is shakin' her hand
Too late to leave here, now the song's in the can
Give it up
For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
You call it chivalry, never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on?
This phony honour code that put you on your throne
A double standard you invoke when you want
For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Was it all for show?
Don't turn into one of them
Turning another page
Trust me, darling
I'm carving a moat through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble
Just to serve you
Tend to wonder why
Good solid currency's the hardest to land
All of that money helps you cover your ass
Don't let the ladyfinger blow in your hand
Did it all
For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Just like a whiskey bottle, drained on the floor
She got no future, just a life to endure
This good Samaritan is shakin' her hand
Too late to leave here, now the song's in the can
Give it up
For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
You call it chivalry, never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why they had to move on?
This phony honour code that put you on your throne
A double standard you invoke when you want
For that dollar
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up the ghost inside
Was it all for show?
Don't turn into one of them
Turning another page
Trust me, darling
I'm carving a moat through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble
Just to serve you
Tend to wonder why
