Ghosts On The Boardwalk

The Bouncing Souls Ghosts On The Boardwalk Lyrics
1.Gasoline

Sex and violence has lost it's charm
I need something to amuse
War is boring, it's not enough
I need a shock down to my shoes
Pedophile lust, tortured blood in the dust
Take all you can
As long as it's on a TV screen
Keep it away from my house, man
I'm long gone, I'm long gone, I'm long gone

My senses are burned to the core
So fuck me hard, I'll still want more
Sedation, now, is what I need
So I don't have to live with me
Slavery is still alive

Somebody's prayin'
Take anything you want
Just don't show me who I am

Sedate me with anything
So I don't have to live with me
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
Kill me with everything
Until there's nothing left of me
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline

The beginning of this new time
Is coming to an end
We have run from all our ills
But we won't run again
Toxic meat, political deceit
Medicate me till I'm dead
And I'll take life from your can
Just don't show me who I am

Sedate me with anything
So I don't have to live with me
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
Kill me with everything
Until there's nothing left of me
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline

Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline

Sedate me with anything
So I don't have to live with me
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
Kill me with everything
Until there's nothing left of me
Tell me, tell me that I'm free

Tell me, tell me that I'm free
(Gimme some gasoline)
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
(Gimme some gasoline)
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
(Gimme some gasoline)
Tell me, tell me that I'm free
(Gimme some gasoline)
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline
Gimme some gasoline


2.Never Say Die _ When You're Young

Never say die
Never say die

We're the ones they couldn't keep in line
Living like we know there is no time
A heart this world cannot deny

Never say die
Never say die
Never say die

All the emptiness we felt inside
All the ways they try to take your pride
All of this we will defy

Never say die
Never say die
Never say die

Looking back for one last time
At the world of lies we left behind
Time has come for us to rise

We're the ones they couldn't keep in line
Living like we know there is no time
A heart this world cannot deny

Never say die
Never say die
Never say die

When you're young, write your songs
Take your time, stay strong
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Don't grow old, hang on to your heart
Stay close to your soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you're young, write your songs
Take your time, stay strong
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Don't grow old, hang on to your heart
Stay close to your soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

When you're young, write your songs
Take your time, stay strong
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on

Don't grow old, hang on to your heart
Stay close to your soul
Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on


3.I Think That The World...

No days and nights could brighten my life
as much as one moment with you
This is the way life seems to go
it's not the way I wanted it to be
I got it wrong, but that's okay
you and I agree it's great this way

I'm in love with you,
you're in love with me
I haven't felt this good in years
all that fear disappeared

And the world can go it's own way
In fact, it can fade away
Yeah the world can go it's own way
In fact, it can fade away

The touch of your hand hits me so deep
I look into your eyes endlessly
Forget who I was and wanna be
man do I feel so free

I'm in love with you,
you're in love with me
I haven't felt this good in years
all that fear disappeared

And the world can go it's own way
In fact, it can fade away
The world can go it's own way
In fact, it can fade away

I'm in love with you
you're in love with me
I haven't felt this good in years
all my fear I carried with me just disappears
Disappears...

And the world can go it's own way
In fact, it can fade away
The world can go it's own way
In fact, it can fade away

Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away
Fade away


4.Ghosts On The Boardwalk

All you say you're lonely
pulled away by the tide and lost at sea
All your senses soaking
so heavy that you can't breathe
you can't breathe
you can't see
you can't see

Let me take you to a place
where the sun warms your face
and the sound of the waves takes you away
The ghosts on the boardwalk
will keep you company
where the city meets the sea
where the city meets the sea

All you say you're empty
stripped away by the pain of broken dreams
All these emotions
clouding up your eyes 'til you can't see
you can't see
you can't breathe
you can't see

Let me take you to a place
where the sun warms your face
and the sound of the waves takes you away
The ghosts on the boardwalk
will keep you company
where the city meets the sea
where the city meets the sea

Carry nothing you don't need
the wind us there to guide your feet
you're in good company

All you say you're lonely

Let me take you to a place
where the sun warms your face
and the sound of the waves takes you away
The ghosts on the boardwalk
will keep you company
where the city meets the sea
where the city meets the sea
where the city meets the sea


5.Airport Security

Here we go again on our way to some airport
Check lady smiles at me then she asked for my photo id
I'm a frequent flyer elite gold member in the endless blue
We're flying so fast but time's moving so slow
You know I'm thinking of you
I could write a thousand songs and never get it right
In my mind its getting harder to leave you
You know I have to believe you're alright
What else can I do while I'm flying so high

Muzak is playing again they saw my soul in the security line
They say it has no end with you and I in our forever in time
But it feels like you're slipping away somehow
It has to be that way who I thought you were
Who I thought I was is finally dying away
Into the Souls of a thousand songs I will write someday
In my mind its getting harder to leave you
You know I have to believe you're alright
What else can I do while I'm flying so high

Ali Hasan is on the no fly list
He's getting hassled by the FBI

In my mind its getting harder to leave you
You know I have to believe
You know I have to believe
You know I have to believe

7.Mental Bits

The sun is shining in the breeze
free from all the world's worries
I'm walking with the city's beat
under the palms swinging in the tree

Move out, move on
Life is here, singing her song
Move out, move on
The sun is shining as we walk along
Move on

We've been singing a worried song
in our hearts now for so long
All of the past, it can't be wrong
let's let it go, and move along

Move out, move on
Life is here, singing her song
Move out, move on
The sun is shining as we walk along
Move on

The sky is always on my side
trouble's part of my joy ride
Drama's crash, emotions clash
we have to live with the past

I'm gonna take the scenic route
battle the traffic with a better view
It's better not to fight alone
altogether lets move along

Move out, move on
Life is here, singing her song
Move out, move on
The sun is shining as we walk along

Move out, move on
Life is here, singing her song
Move out, move on
The sun is shining as we walk along
Move out, move on


8.Dubs Says True

Hello again my good friend
You have been there through it all
A strange face in the dark
Do you know what you've done at all

You say we have been there for you
In all the tough times of your life
Remember you have been there too
The greatest friends I've ever seen
Know what I mean
We always will be true
We always will be true
Will be true

Incredible stories we have heard
Over the years at all the shows
She changed her life he met his wife
It's beautiful how it all goes

You say we have been there for you
In all the good times of your life
Remember you have been there too
The greatest friends I've ever seen
Know what I mean
We always will be true
We always will be true

Never say goodbye to a friend
True till the end
Never say goodbye to a friend
True till the end

Thank you my friend once again
For reminding me that this should never end
You've inspired me again
Know what I mean
We always will be true
We always will be true
We always will be true
We always will be true
Will be true
Will be true


9.Boogie Woogie Downtown

How did it come to this?
Where did it all go wrong?
Nothing seems to be what it used to be,
And no one's happy

I lie awake at night
This feeling just ain't right
These words go round and round and round in my head
Like a broken record

If this goes on much longer,
I think I'm gonna explode

'Cause I don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
I wanna have it out right now
Because if this thing is over,
What's the point to drag it out?
Let's put it in the ground

This takes up all my time
I need to clear my mind
We don't see things eye to eye anymore
And it's just kinda beat

This is a tragedy
Like watching bad TV
This show plays on and on and on in my head
I can't change the channel

If this goes on much longer,
I think I'm gonna explode

'Cause I don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
I wanna have it out right now
Because if this thing is over,
What's the point to drag it out?
Let's put it in the ground

Stop dragging it around
It's bringing me down
Well you won't leave it down

If this goes on much longer,
I think I'm gonna explode

'Cause I don't wanna wait 'til tomorrow
I wanna have it out right now
Because if this thing is over,
What's the point to drag it out?
What's the point to drag it out?
Let's put it in the ground


10.Big Eyes

You left home for the first time when you were seventeen
Searching for a life, beginning a new dream
Drove the car all night to learn your way around
Feeling so alone in the parking lot downtown
You had your love to give, so much life to live

Hey little girl, don't look so sad
It's not the end of the world
Seen this film before
Already know the ending
Some of the faces change
But the plot it stays the same
Take my hand
Let's walk away

What did those big eyes see
A world where nothing's free
Your innocent beauty, slipping quietly
With every turn you found no one to understand
Why would you feel so down, no one to really see
What a woman you could be

Hey little girl, don't look so sad
It's not the end of the world
Seen this film before
Already know the ending
Some of the faces change
But the plot it stays the same
You gave your heart
Every moment when no one can
They made you small
They couldn't make you fall

Hey little girl
Hey, hey little girl
Hey little girl

Hey little girl, don't look so sad
It's not the end of the world
Seen this film before
Already know the ending
Some of the faces change
But the plot it stays the same
So take my hand
Take my hand
So take my hand
Let's walk away


11.We All Sing Along

She was only seventeen
lost in the spaces in between
Looking for a place she could belong

He was a new face on the scene
another punk with his heart on his sleeve
He was gonna change the world with his song

But the world has its own ideas
we all must play the hand fate deals
When our plans have come and gone
we all sing one heart song

We All Sing Along
We All Sing Along

Mrs. Jones cries herself to sleep
Valium and a bottle of gin to keep
Mrs. Jones lonely body warm at night

Marriage aint all she thought it would be
Bought into the whole suburban fantasy
Everything was gonna be just right

But the world has its own ideas
we all must play the hand fate deals
When our plans have come and gone
we all sing one heart song

We All Sing Along
We All Sing Along

...

An old man starts another day alone
a cardboard bed for his home
He feels the young ones stare behind his back

He sees himself in their pride
he sees himself in their arrogant stride
He was gonna be a big CEO

But the world has its own ideas
we all must play the hand fate deals
When our plans have come and gone
we all sing one heart song

We All Sing Along
We All Sing Along
We All Sing Along
We All Sing Along


12.Like The Sun

Drifting alone on a wide open sea, letting life pass me by
Avoiding everything I'm afraid to be, but your heart shines a
light
Lost in my own misery, till you came and helped me see
That I don't have to be alone
Thank you for giving this lost heart a home

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
Cuz I've been gone for so long

Always lost inside, always looking away
When the best moments in life are ours to take
The tragedy of human life, the darkness that lurks inside
The days that we quit and start to die
This is the time to stand and fight

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
Cuz I've been gone for so long

Keep the light on
Yeah I'm coming home
Cuz I've been gone for so long

So shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on

Drifting alone on a wide open sea,
letting life pass me by
Avoiding everything I'm afraid to be,
but your heart shines a light

So keep the light on
I'm coming home
Cuz I've been gone for so long

Keep the light on
Cuz I'm coming home
Cuz I've been gone for so long

So shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on
Shine on

Shine on
Shine on
