Downtown Ghost

Verse 1

Wabash and Adams quarter past two

She stepped out the rain like she already knew

Red coat cinched tight and a pearl-white grin

Said she'd seen me before at a party I'd never been in

Pre-Chorus

Bought me a drink I never saw poured

Knew my last name knew the car that I drove

Chorus

She's a downtown ghost with a gold-plated smile

Charming me stupid for a little while

And I keep on walking her way

Yeah I keep on walking her way

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na

Verse 2

Thursday she called from a number unlisted

Said her uncle ran clubs and my demo could fit

Showed me a ledger three names underlined

One was my boss and I never asked why

Pre-Chorus

My wallet got lighter my phone rang at dawn

She's reading my messages one by one

Chorus

She's a downtown ghost with a gold-plated smile

Charming me stupid for a little while

And I keep on walking her way

Yeah I keep on walking her way

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na

Verse 3

Found a receipt in her coat for a room I had paid

Found my signature forged on a loan in my name

Called her up screaming she laughed soft and slow

Said baby you gave me the keys long ago

Bridge

Every word was a lever

Every touch was a plan

Every kiss was a promise

Signed with my own hand

Chorus

She's a downtown ghost with a gold-plated smile

Charming me stupid for a little while

And I keep on walking her way

Yeah I keep on walking her way

Post-Chorus

Na na na na

Na na na na
