lyrics

There's a ghost on the radio
Pulling me back to fifteen years ago
When teenage blood ran high
Brewing a party, a romance, a country suicide

We had cocaine in the mansion
Wild Turkey and Lucky Strikes
My best friend kissed my brother
So I hitch-hiked through the night

We'd lie side by side in the dark
To let the sound fill out the light
I'd stretch my fingers out
To see if yours would come to mine

Ghosts run wild on the frequency dial
When wine runs red we turn ghost instead

We'd drink red wine in the morning
Talkin bout the world around us
What we could do to change it
And how we were going to save it
But when a million marched to stop a war
and it was met by bombs in Baghdad
Well now we're ten years on when we drink wine
we talk TV and sit to watch that

Ghosts run wild on the frequency dial
When wine runs red we turn ghost instead
