The Ghost Inside Lyrics

She sold her love to a modern man,
'cause solid currency's the hardest to love.
All of that money helps you cover your eyes
don't let the lady finger blow in your hand.
Did it all,
for that dollar,
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up
The ghost inside

Just like a whiskey bottle drained on the floor,
she got no future, just a love to endure
This good samaritan is shaking her hard
'Too late to leave him' are the songs in her car

Give it up,
For that dollar,
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up
The ghost inside
You call it chivalry
never pull a punch for free
You ever wonder why you had to move on?
This phony honor code,
that put you on your throne
A double standard
you invoke when you want
For that dollar,
She's a star tonight
Without warning
She gave up
The ghost inside

Was it all for show?
To turn into one of them
Turning another page
Trust me darlin'
I'm carving 'em up through the dust in your town
Crawling over rubble just to save you
Don't attempt to wonder why
