Workin' for the Ghost

Verse 1

St. Anne

Red silk torn

She died but she stayed

Brought back by the bitter black bourbon

Haunting the hall since the Great War ended

Workin'

Still workin'

Workin'

Hard workin'

She drags her heels across the floorboards

Pale hand on the knob

Cold

Pre-Chorus

She'd peel back the skin

She'd see the sin

Tear the clothes off their backs

Send them out to the rain

Broken

Forgotten

Chorus

And they'd be crying out

Crying out

Crying out

She just keeps on workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Post-Chorus

Yeah she's workin'

Yeah she's workin'

Workin' through the night

Workin' till the light

Verse 2

Ghost

Master plan

She owns the soul of every man

She never sleeps she never eats she never rests

Tightening the corset across a hollow chest

Workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Always workin'

Copper coins on her eyes

Silver in her pocket

Gone

Pre-Chorus

She'd peel back the skin

She'd see the sin

Tear the clothes off their backs

Send them out to the rain

Broken

Forgotten

Chorus

And they'd be crying out

Crying out

Crying out

She just keeps on workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Bridge

No goodbye

No peace

No sleep

No release

You'll be right there by her side

Nowhere left for you to hide

The clock stops ticking but she keeps on moving

Guitar Solo

Chorus

And they'd be crying out

Crying out

Crying out

She just keeps on workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Workin'

Outro

Bordello's gonna be full

Bordello's gonna be full

Bordello's gonna be full

Bordello's gonna be full

Full of ghosts

Full of sin

Let her in

Let her in

Workin'

Workin'

Workin'
