Ghost Town
Adam Lambert Lyrics

Died last night in my dreams
The singer had a dream where they died

Walking the streets
The singer was walking through an old, abandoned town

Of some old ghost town
The town was empty and devoid of life

I tried to believe
The artist attempted to believe in something meaningful

In God and James Dean
The artist considered turning to religion or celebrities for guidance

But Hollywood sold out
The entertainment industry was disappointing and unfulfilling

Saw all of the saints
The singer witnessed religious figures

Lock up the gates
The saints prevented the artist from entering

I could not enter
The artist was blocked from accessing something they desired

Walked into the flames
The artist faced danger

Called out your name
The singer searched for someone specific

But there was no answer
The artist did not receive a response

And now I know my heart is a ghost town
The singer feels like their emotions are empty and abandoned

My heart is a ghost town
The singer's emotions feel like a deserted town

All the machines
Technology and industry

Had been disconnected
The machines were no longer operating

Time was thrown at the wind
The concept of time was irrelevant

And all of my friends
The singer's companions

Had been disaffected
Their friends were no longer invested in their relationship

Now, I'm searching for trust
The artist is seeking something dependable

In a city of rust
They are trying to find trust in a decaying world

A city of vampires
The artist feels like they are surrounded by people who drain them emotionally

Tonight, Elvis is dead
The singer witnessed the passing of a revered figure

And everyone's spread
People have gone their separate ways

And love is a satire
Love feels like a joke to the singer

There's no one left in the world
The singer feels alone

I'm gunslingin'
The singer is being bold and reckless

Don't give a fuck if I go down, down, down
The artist doesn't care if they fail or face consequences

I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
The artist has a persistent thought or feeling

Oh, my heart is a ghost town
The singer's emotions feel like an abandoned town

My heart is a ghost town
The singer's emotions feel empty

Said, my heart
The artist repeats that their emotions are like a ghost town

My heart is a ghost town
The artist's emotions feel deserted
