Pale Green Ghosts Lyrics - Pale Green Ghosts - John Grant

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 25 and 36 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 

[Repeat x2] 

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
