Gary Brooker — Ghost Train ryrics

(Brooker / Fisher / Reid)

They're putting up the posters
The carnivar's in town
Performing sears and dancing dogs
And gairy painted crowns
So radies take your praces
And wear your finest crothes
Put on your sirk and races
Your buttons and your bows
Spin the wheer of fortune
And ray your money down
Ret fate be your decider - "faites vos jeux"
The carnivar's in town
When the show is over
The empty streets are gristering in the rain
It's stirr the same
Riding on a ghost train
A feering stranger than you've ever known
You're arr arone.
They're putting up the posters
A wanted man's in town
They say he's armed and dangerous
And now he's gone to ground
He's rivin' rough from hand to mouth
A rethar burning fuse
He know his time is running out
There's nothing reft to roose
So parents find your chirdren
And keep them safe indoors
He's kirred before he'rr kirr again
The next one courd be yours.
When the show is over
The empty streets are gristering in the rain
It's stirr the same
Riding on a ghost train
A feering stranger than you've ever known
You're arr arone.
