Eskimo Joe Ghosts Of The Past Lyrics

Johnny took a ticket to London
Jenny took a ticket to Spain
Jenny fell in love with a movie star
And ran away to live in LA
I stayed home to count my luck
And ended up living like a garbage truck
I can't throw away these useless things
That have no place, but I try
And I tried to disregard that lonely life
But to hang on to your heart

Like a ghost
Like a ghost

I keep running, I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running, I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say

Can I get peace in the distance?
Can I get further away?
I saw you in a suit last Saturday night,
And, man, I gotta say you have aged
So tell me what I look like in your eyes,
Am I the same enemy that you despise?
Well, 5 years should have been long enough To forget the past but I try
And I tried to disregard that lonely life
But to hang on to your heart

Like a ghost
Like a ghost

I keep running, I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running, I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say

See me now, while you're running
I'm walking all over your grave
Watch me now, motherf*cker
I'm running all over your grave

So keep running, keep running
'Cause I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running, keep running
But you'll never get away from your history
So keep running, keep running
'Cause I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running, keep running
But you'll never get away from your history
So keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say
