~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.

    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    nice. Colorful Lyd. :D

    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.

    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.

    Ghost live is awesome... love is deep, dig it out
    Don't let the world bring you down, not everyone here is that fucked up and cold. Remember why you came and while you're alive, experience the warmth before you grow old.

    Best two days of my life: Oasis at MSG and Pearl Jam at the Gorge.

    It is a great song, my favorite track off Riot Act. I feel it is very under-rated!

    too much talk it makes no sense at all...

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


    i love em!
    ...please stand by the shore

    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!!

    plus i think mike's solo is really cool

    and on top of that i really dig the line:
    "bring it on, cos i'm no victim..."


    one of my fave's from RA
    There's a lot to be said for nowhere....
