[Intro] [Clean Guitar] [Low Static] Three in the morning The gas station sign Keeps humming Like it's the only thing Still awake [Verse 1] The waitress at the diner Knows exactly what I drink But after all these years Still doesn't know my name Old man Johnson Feeds the pigeons every morning Talks to them More than he talks to people The church bell rings Nobody looks up The sound just drifts away Like everything else A kid rolls past On a battered skateboard Trying to outrun a town That already caught him [Pre-Chorus] The streets are full That's the strange part [Chorus] This ain't a ghost town The traffic still moves The neon still glows The factories still loom This ain't a ghost town That's just what we say The buildings survived The people faded away [Verse 2] Four friends sitting At the same table Four glowing screens Four different planets A couple near the window Pushes food around their plates Not angry Not happy Just gone The bartender laughs At a joke he's told for years Nobody hears it Over the sound of themselves A girl stares into a bathroom mirror Taking picture after picture Looking for someone She'll never find [Pre-Chorus] Everybody's connected Nobody's home [Chorus] This ain't a ghost town The traffic still moves The neon still glows The factories still loom This ain't a ghost town That's just what we say The buildings survived The people faded away [Verse 3] Friday night Rain on Main Street Music spilling out Of every doorway A thousand conversations Stacked on top of each other Nobody listening Everybody talking Behind the liquor store A man sits in his pickup Hands locked on the steering wheel Like he's holding himself together People walk right past him Maybe they never saw him Maybe they did And kept walking anyway [Bridge] [Half-Time] Maybe we're tired Maybe we're numb Maybe we're drowning And calling it living Maybe we're searching Maybe we're lost Maybe we traded each other For noise [Breakdown] LOOK UP LOOK UP LOOK UP LOOK UP THE SKY'S STILL THERE THE STARS STILL BURN THE WORLD DIDN'T DIE WE JUST FORGOT HOW TO FEEL [Final Chorus] This ain't a ghost town The traffic still moves The neon still glows The factories still loom This ain't a ghost town That's just what we say The buildings survived The people faded away [Outro] [Clean Guitar] The diner stays open The church still stands The highway keeps running Across the land Everything's still here Everything but us
