lyrics

I drive a ghost car
I drive through the night
I drive a ghost car
I drive it through the cold wind and rain
Always alone, as the night as long
I drive for home, keeping on
I drive for home

I drive a ghost car
I drive through the night
I drive a ghost car
And no-one else can drive my car
Not like me, not like this
‘cos they don’t miss, what I miss
I drive for this kiss

So I while away the hours trying to make it stick
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks

I stop at a ghost town
There’s no-one around
I stop at a ghost town
Where everyone is fast asleep
Shadows populate the street
The traffic lights flash red to green
Repeat, repeat, but no-one sees

So I while away the hours trying to make it stick
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks

I drive a ghost car
I drive through the night
A ghost car
Always trying to get back home
The road is long, I cannot get gone
White lines blur to one, until I see the sun
White lines blur to one, until I see the sun. Hey!

So I while away the hours trying to make it stick
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks
‘til the caffeine kicks, ‘til the caffeine kicks. Hey!
