There's a lot of traffic in town
For nothing to be going down
You can't tell by the sound
It's a holiday, but not enough to go around
Mother Nature makes her presence known
The storm rolls in and all the lights are blown
Pawn our lives to get another loan My oh, my, oh, how these kids have grown
They say times are hard
Oh, where did the money go
People looking down
'Cause New York's getting slow
Left to wonder why
What we planted did not grow
Will this Ghostown be all we know
November wind blows hard
For sale sign in every yard
The Dealer hides the highest card
A dollar bill can only stretch so far
Yeah, a dollar bill can only stretch so far
They say times are hard
Oh, where did the money go
People looking down
'Cause New York's getting slow
Left to wonder why
What we've planted did not grow
Will this Ghostown be all we know
Well, they sent us home and they shut it down
Man, this used to be such a pretty town
But pretty's not enough to make them stay
They say times are hard
Oh, where did the money go
People looking down
'Cause New York's getting slow
Left to wonder why
What we planted did not grow
Will this Ghostown be all we know
Will this Ghostown be all we know
Will this Ghostown be all we know
