Lyrics for Ghost Ship

I remember flashbacks lighting up magic whip Eight o'clock, Kowloon emptiness, handle it The white horse image I had of you eleven seconds ago I didn't send you, so you will never know I got away for a little while But then it came back Much harder Swinging on a cable up to Po Lin Climbing down the ghostly wire in a battery That light in your eyes I search for religiously When it's not there Oh, Lord, it's hurting me I got away for a little while But then it came back Much harder Till I ever hold you out there again Will you be mine? 'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart In Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (Out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you To shine out bright rays Feeling out of body here, what can I do? It's up to the top every day to join with you I had to get away for a little while But then it came back Much harder Till I ever hold you out there again Will you be mine? 'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart In Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (Out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you To shine out bright rays Till I ever hold you out there again Will you be mine? (Will you be mine?) 'Cause I'm on a ghost ship drowning my heart In Hong Kong It's the last ride boarding here tonight Out in the bay (Out in the bay) I'll need a lantern in you To shine out bright rays Bright rays Bright rays
