[Verse 1]
Coffee gone cold
Ashtray full of days
One chair talkin'
In a room that never ages
Old coat on the door
Looks more alive than me
Radio hums in the corner
Playin' songs I can’t unsee
[Chorus]
Got that old gear
New ghosts
Rattlin' ‘round my brain
Lonely in a crowded city
Dancin' with my own pain (yeah)
I keep talkin' to the ceiling
It never talks back
It just knows
I'm stuck in this same blue feeling
With old gear
New ghosts
[Verse 2]
Streetlight through the blinds
Cuts stripes across the floor
I pour two drinks from habit
Leave one starin' at the door
My shadow on the wall
Keeps steppin' out of time
Even my echo's tired
Of hearin' the same old lines
[Chorus]
Got that old gear
New ghosts
Rattlin' ‘round my brain
Lonely in a crowded city
Dancin' with my own pain (oh yeah)
I keep talkin' to the ceiling
It never talks back
It just knows
I'm stuck in this same blue feeling
With old gear
New ghosts
[Bridge]
I twist the night like a worn-out knob
Try to tune you back to here
But the more I spin
The more I hear
Just hiss and haunted years
[Chorus]
Got that old gear
New ghosts
Rattlin' ‘round my brain
Lonely in a crowded city
Dancin' with my own pain
I keep talkin' to the ceiling
It never talks back
It just knows
So I play these same raw pages
For my old gear
New ghosts (hey)
