I'm flirting with the line
It's hard to be the big man all the time
I never have to try
I'm a freight train, brakes out, neon eyes
Take me for a ride on the borderline
Every single night I see my sanity slipping
Keep my money right, keep my body tight
Seal up every crack with solid gold
I'm the king of the ghost
I'm the king of the ghost
I'm the king of the ghost
I'm on the golden line
In a back room waiting to see the light
You can try to change my mind
I'm a Mack truck, no one's stopping me tonight
Take me for a ride past the borderline
'Til I see the light that fills the void deep inside me
Time is fading fast, running out of cash
Are these the good times I once owed?
I'm the king of the ghost
Oh, I'm the king of the ghost
I'm the king of the ghost
Take you for a ride past the borderline
'Til we see the light that fills the void inside
Running out of time, running out of line
