Ghost on the Highway

It's cloudy in the west, it looks like rain

My eyes are black holes and I'm burning away

You slaughtered your loving man, killed him in his sleep

The blood and crying of your murder simply stains your sheets

Now, you're a ghost on the highway

Your gesture is meaningless

You're lost to the living men

Trailing souls to the end

You thought winning as a woman meant failing as a friend

It is not an art statement to drown a few passionate men

You made yourself a diamond to blind young men's eyes

You claim because they want your shine, they deserve to walk the line

You're a ghost on the highway

Your gesture is meaningless

You're lost forever to the living men

Trailing souls to the end

Yes, I would give you my love

So my soul would not starve

But, it could never move the honest rock

Of what you really are

You're a ghost on the highway

You're like straw and meaningless

I hate you, but I love you

I'll carry that to the end

If I ever lie with you again, I pray I do not sleep

If I ever closed my eyes again, I'd realize what you are to me

You are simply a liar, an animal who bluffs and steals

Until you become a bigger creature's meal

You're a ghost on the highway

Your trash and meaningless

I hate you, but I love you

I'll carry that to the end

You're lost on the highway
