lyrics

the new west is a ghost town
of dreams already dreamt
left neglected and unkempt
there is no mystery left to tempt

the new west is a ghost town
of suits and deals you'll never know
kingpins that control the show
already dealt the dying blow

the new west is a ghost town
of stampede herds on freeway lines
all digging down in gutted minds
so dark you never see the signs

the new west is a ghost town
of restless, floating pioneers
all grinding rusted, backdoor gears
to turn the days to nights to years

the new west is a closed deal
soil dead as it ever was
before some men laid their eyes in awe
on beauty so unspoiled and raw
