lyrics

Elusive

I guess it’s my way and the highway
As the joker used to quip
The bonds of my attachment
Scramble loose just when I quit
So I guess this means departure
Is really where I stand
It means cowardice will capture -
Each and every one at hand.

Well I don’t want to be here
I’m elusive to the core
Oh, I don’t want to be here
When the ghosts
Come knocking on my door

And my final destination
Is where it all began
The road to plain damnation -
In a battered old Sedan,
I can always feel this shadow
In the place right where I stood
Lone bullet or the arrow
Just might hit me – and I think it should.

No I don’t want to be here
Somewhere else forevermore
Oh, I don’t want to be here
When the ghosts
When the ghosts
Come knocking on my door

Well I don’t want to be here
I’m elusive to the core
Oh, I don’t want to be here
When the ghosts of this old sinner
Come knocking down my door.
