~GHOST~

The mind is grey like the city.
Packing in and overgrown.
Love is deep. Dig it out.
Standing in a hole alone.
Working for something that one can never hold.
A place in the clouds.
Good place to hide oh my oh.

So I'm flying away, away.
Driving away, away.
Finding. Hoping. Ways I missed before. Missed before.

The TV, she talks to me.
Breaking news and building walls.
Selling me, what I don't need.
I didn't know soap made you taller.

So I'm riding away, away.
Hiding away, away.
So much talk it makes no sense at all. My sense is getting cold.

So I'm hiding away, away.
Driving away, away.
Passing old friends I won't know at all. Won't know at all.

It doesn't hurt when I bleed.
But my memories they eat me.
I've seen it all before.
Bring it on cause I'm no victim.

Dying away, away.

U know it, VEDHEAD. boston 3 has a cool version that i love, but then again, it seems that boot has tons of cool versions. any other versions you recommend?

MeddleDeal

nice. Colorful Lyd.

Another song off of Riot Act I wanted to hear live, but I have heard it on the boots,and I must say it ROCKS!!!

I love this part:

So I'm flying away, away.
Driving away, away.
Finding. Hoping. Ways I missed before. Missed before.

boy do I feel like that now.

VEDHEAD27

PJammin'...the mother of em all --->OSAKA<----!

One of the MANY reasons that boot owns.

PhillyPJ

great song. love it love it

VEDHEAD27

Boston 3 is great as well!!! Yeah, that show just had SO many great versions of so many GREAT songs. This is true. All I know is anytime I saw Ghost on I set I'd get super giddy. It seemed like a rare on this tour. Something to be very grateful for when ya finally get it. I, too, did not get it at any of my show. :( It's all good though. I'm just glad it did get played this tour...period.

a lot of people don't like the choruses with the background vocals

VEDHEAD27

YES!! I agree thisismylastexit. Everything about this song just ROCKS!!

The Missoula version of "Ghost" is a
great version, too, as the verses are
switched, and it's rumored to be on
the upcoming DVD, so check it out if
ya get a chance!!

bohemianutopist

One of the best songs off Riot Act.

Cole Trickle

same here.. a real dreamy part of the song that takes me places..
ghost is the first song of riot act that kept on lingering in my mind, still love it, really hope to hear it live next tour!

Mad Mohab

amazing song. best chorus on RA

VEDHEAD27

Fuck yeah! Good call with BUMPING this one up.

This song is indeed amazing. You gotta love how it just starts rockin right from the start with no fuckin delay. It demands your attention!


The ending part just never fails to blow me *sings* "away, away"

Love it!!!!!

Jeff done did it here. GHOST is not only one of the best from RA...but from the entire PJ catalogue if ya ask me.

Mad Mohab

I can't even express how good the song is. Right before i heard the disc a friend told me "just go number 5" and when i heard it I knew.

Jeff was all over riot act. ghost is one of pjs best for sure!

the first line of the last chorus could very well be my personal favorite moment of any Pearl jam song.


plus mcready kicks ass on cropduster and then takes it up a step on this song.
