Pale Green Ghosts

Back then, I often found myself

Driving on the road at night

And the radio was broadcasting the ocean

Warm late spring wind whips through my hair

I am right here, but I wanna be there

And no one in this world is gonna stop me

Pale green ghosts at the end of May

Soldiers of this black highway

Helping me to know my place

Pale green ghosts must take great care

Release themselves into the air

Reminding me that I must be aware

At twenty-five and thirty-six to Boulder

I was getting warm, but now I'm getting colder

And I stomp my feet, demanding like a child

I hope you get everything you wanted, boy

I hope you conquer the world and turn it into your toy

But don't come crying when you're forced to learn the truth

Pale green ghosts at the end of May

Soldiers of this black highway

Helping me to know my place

Pale green ghosts must take great care

Release themselves into the air

Reminding me that I must be aware

Pale green ghosts at the end of May

Soldiers of this black highway

Helping me to know my place

Pale green ghosts must take great care

Release themselves into the air

Reminding me that I must be aware
