(Verse 1)
I pulled the Chevy through the rusty rusted gate
The midnight movie started just a little bit late
The projector light was casting a silver-blue beam
Showing a monster movie from a dead man's dream
But there wasn’t a single living soul in the crowd
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re parked tonight at the ghostly drive-in
Where the speakers are screaming a rockabilly sin
The guitar is wailing with a heavy tape hiss
As the phantom screen pulls us into the abyss
Oh baby, roll the windows up and hold me tight
(Verse 2)
The car hop came walking on a pair of old skates
Carrying a tray full of cracked ceramic plates
Her eyes were just hollows and her smile was cold
A teenage tragedy that never grew old
She vanished into mist before I paid her a dime
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re parked tonight at the ghostly drive-in
Where the speakers are screaming a rockabilly sin
The guitar is wailing with a heavy tape hiss
As the phantom screen pulls us into the abyss
Oh baby, roll the windows up and hold me tight
(Verse 3)
You looked in the rearview and you started to scream
The cars all around us were a shadow-made team
Empty steering wheels turning all on their own
Trapping our hot rod in a cemetery zone
While the horn started blowing a funeral march
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re parked tonight at the ghostly drive-in
Where the speakers are screaming a rockabilly sin
The guitar is wailing with a heavy tape hiss
As the phantom screen pulls us into the abyss
Oh baby, roll the windows up and hold me tight
(Verse 4)
The celluloid film started melting on the screen
Turning the actors into bubbling neon green
The static from the window speaker grew so loud
It shook the steel chassis and the engine shroud
We were running out of oxygen inside the coupe
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re parked tonight at the ghostly drive-in
Where the speakers are screaming a rockabilly sin
The guitar is wailing with a heavy tape hiss
As the phantom screen pulls us into the abyss
Oh baby, roll the windows up and hold me tight
(Verse 5)
The morning never breaks on this double-feature line
We’re locked in the matrix of a vintage design
Two wax-coated lovers on a vinyl car seat
Watching the phantoms stomp their heavy boots feet
Forever stuck inside the midnight show
(Chorus)
Oh, we’re parked tonight at the ghostly drive-in
Where the speakers are screaming a rockabilly sin
The guitar is wailing with a heavy tape hiss
As the phantom screen pulls us into the abyss
Oh baby, roll the windows up and hold me tight
