Oooo-ooo-oooooo-oo
Oooo-ooo-oooooo-oo
Once I was a very young man, and very young man are none to clever
Sailed across to faraway lands
And faraway towns of tin an terror
Ran amok in a strip called love
Lost my mind in the streets of neon
Now I'm coming on back
Help me up move right, left foot forward
Oh, we had a merry old time, but merry old times don’t count for nothing
Cocaine, song and women and wine
Memories blur and they make me shudder
Bed in the morning, eight, four, five
Couple of days to get my head off
Now I'm comming on back
Help me up move right left foot forward
To Gho Gho Gho Gho-Gho Gho Gho Gho
I'm troubled by Gho Gho Gho Gho-Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo-ooo-oooooo-oooo
Far below the shiniest stars
But shiniest stars won’t shine for ever
Take your soul and you can go far
If you don’t fall from grace of favor
Golden weights are those who star
You can take now and I’ll take never
Now I'm comming on back
Help me up move right left foot forward
To Gho Gho Gho Gho-Gho Gho Gho Gho
I'm troubled by Gho Gho Gho Gho-Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Gho Gho Gho Gho-Gho Gho Gho Gho
I'm troubled by Gho Gho Gho Gho-Gho Gho Gho Ghosts in heaven
Oooo oooh oooooo oo
Oooo oooh ooooo
Soon I’ll be a very old man, and very old men they dream on summers
Spent with falls in faraway clans
While hometown sings the hymns of courage
Ran ‘em up in a striṗ called love
Lost my mind in the streets of neon
Now I'm coming on back home
Help me up move right left foot forward
