Johnny took a ticket to London
Jenny took a ticket to Spain
Jenny fell in love with a movie star
And ran away to live in LA
I stayed home to count my luck
And ended up living like a garbage truck
I can't throw away these useless things
That have no place, but I try
And I tried to disregard that lonely life
But to hang on to your heart

Like a ghost
Like a ghost

I keep running, I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running, I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say

Can I get peace in the distance?
Can I get further away?
I saw you in a suit last Saturday night, 
And, man, I gotta say you have aged
So tell me what I look like in your eyes, 
Am I the same enemy that you despise?
To forget the past but I try
And I tried to disregard that lonely life
But to hang on to your heart

Like a ghost
Like a ghost

I keep running, I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running, I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say

See me now, while you're running
I'm walking all over your grave
Watch me now, motherfucker
I'm running all over your grave

So keep running, keep running
'Cause I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running, keep running
But you'll never get away from your history
So keep running, keep running
'Cause I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running, keep running
But you'll never get away from your history
So keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say
