[Verse 1]
Windows glow, no flame in sight
Ghosts drift by, they cannot flee
Faces fade like frosted glass
Riding rails from history
Coats hang loose on empty frames
Hats dissolve into the dark
Specters lost, they glide along
Down the old New York Central line
[Pre-Chorus]
Shadows linger, never fade
Twisting in the eerie light
Something clings beneath the veil
Lurking just beyond your sight
[Chorus]
“City of ALL-buh-Nee”, come alive
Ghosts in tunnels, screaming light
Half in shadow, half in bone
1920, still on board
Phantom tracks, heed the call
[Verse 2]
Lights flicker, pale faces grin
Bones like ties peek from within
Children hum a haunted tune
Slipping softly into gloom
Smiles split wrong, then fade away
Whispers echo through every soul
Phantom train drifts through the night
Tracks carry shadows in their rows
[Pre-Chorus]
Not alive, yet still they roam
Midnight’s playground carries on
Death and laughter intertwined
Keep your hands and mind aligned
[Chorus]
“City of ALL-buh-Nee”, come alive
Ghosts in tunnels, screaming light
Half in shadow, half in bone
1920, still on board
Phantom tracks, heed the call
[Bridge]
Some reach out and brush your sleeve
Some drip ash that makes you heave
Some whisper secrets of their past
And laugh for thrills that will outlast
Doors unlatch with a playful groan
You’re not alone — forever moving
The rails clash, echoes start to drum
Spectral riders enthrall
[First Final Chorus]
“City of ALL-buh-Nee”, come alive
Ghosts in tunnels, screaming light
Half in shadow, half in bone
1920, still on board
Phantom tracks, heed the call
[Second Final Chorus — Pumped / Variation]
“City of ALL-buh-Nee”, hear them race!
Ghostly riders, crash and chase
Half in darkness, half in flame
1920, none the same
Phantom train, haunts us all
[Outro / Energy Spike]
Rails clash, echoes start to drum
A Halloween train has just begun
Ghostly laughter shrieks and sticks
“City of ALL-buh-Nee”, a spectral fix
All aboard!
