[Intro interlude] mmhhhh... (Ghost from Manila) mmhhhh... (Ghost from Manila) mmhhhh... (Ghost from Manila) mmhhhh... [Intro] Harbor lights in the midnight rain ships roll in like ghosts again another night in this broken town nobody asks where he's bound [Verse 1] He came from shores where the palm trees burned where the war took more than it returned left Manila with the rising sun thought New York would help him run saw the dead through the firefight roar traded jungle heat for concrete war worked the docks where the cold fog grows nameless man where the Hudson flows [Chorus] They call him Ghost from Manila (Ghost from Manila) They call him Ghost from Manila (Ghost from Manila) no shore that he can truly own no road leads back home [Post-Chrous] He’s the Ghost from Manila (Ghost) ’til his dying day [Verse 2] Down by the docks in the winter fog two men on a third like a cornered dog heard a cry call his name through the air tongue from islands burning there night went still with a sudden crack broken teeth on the harbor track soldier rose from the grave he sealed some ghosts fight when truth is revealed [Chorus] They call him Ghost from Manila (Ghost from Manila) They call him Ghost from Manila (Ghost from Manila) no shore that he can truly own no road leads back home [Post-Chrous] He’s the Ghost from Manila (Ghost) ’til his dying day [saxophone instrumental] [Verse 3] They speak of the wraith who works backroom deals cargo holds with their midnight seals steel glints where the cold tides steal quiet work when the moonlight reveals dock bosses nod when he passes their gate problems solved before they escalate they don't know the man from tales they weave just the ghost who delivers and takes his leave [Bridge] No sign he was there, not even in time memories bite in the sleepless night Is he still the boy from across the sea or just the shell of burned memory city took name, war stole his core New York knows just a ghost at the door [Outro] They call him Ghost from Manila (Ghost from Manila) They call him Ghost from Manila (Ghost from Manila) no dream that can bring him peace no prayer parts the endless sea [Post-Outro] He’s the Ghost from Manila (Ghost) ’til his dying day mmhhhh... (Ghost from Manila) mmhhhh... (Ghost from Manila) mmhhhh... (Ghost from Manila) mmhhhh...
