Well I decided to take the bus
It was about 6:05
'Cuz I could hardly walk
In fact, I was just barely alive
Under the bridges and over the street
Now every shadow that I meet
They all know my name
And they whisper
"What's the matter, hon,
Don't you know you're riding on the Ghost Train?"

Jupiter Ray got on the bus
I remember when Jupiter came to town
He was one of the best of us
Oh, that stuff can really take you down
Hey, Jupiter Ray is on the bus
I remember when Jupiter was alive
Come to think of it,
You all have a strange translucence in your eyes.
What's the matter, son,
Don't you know you're riding on the Ghost Train?

You just buy your ticket
And get on board
This train don't stop
'Cuz we like to ride, ride, ride, ride
We just wanna ride, ride, ride, ride

Ding goes the trolley
Bang goes the bell
Somebody call my second cousin
I'm not feeling very well
This is where little blondes check-in their furs
This is where little blondes check-in their hats
Don't worry about where you were going
We took care of that

Mr. Driver is this my stop?
Mr. Driver tell me how to get off!
"Any way you can, any way you can,"
Come back into the light

You wanna get to heaven?
Take the devil by the hand
And you slide right into the promised land
Cuz this could be the night
And this could be the gate
Everybody's waitin' for you darlin'
So don't be late.
What's a matter honey ?
Didn't you pay your money for the Ghost Train?

Well I decided to take the bus
It was about 6:05
'Cuz I could hardly walk
In fact, I was just barely alive
