Paice Ashton Lord - Ghost Story

GHOST STORY (written by Tony Ashton, Jon Lord & Ian Paice) I was struttin' down the road One very dark night, I was blown to the gills And feeling right. The wind was howlin' And the rain was comin' down But l was strutting. My car broke down On the other side of town, It started feelin' weird And began to slow down. Heard a noise behind me And I turned around But there was nothing – Absolutely nothing. You know I'm not a man With a superstitious mind, But on the other hand I'm not the brave kind. I want to tell you now, I really get a fright From things that go bump In the night. Can you believe it? Conceive it? I thought I dreamed it. Can you believe it? Make no mistake, I kept on struttin'... Take me home, mama, Take me home. Don't leave me here, mama, All alone. Hey, mama, come and save me From my head, Just wanna be back home Safe in bed. Then I really started struttin', I mean I was really moving. Heart was beating fast, My clothes were soaking wet. Don't need to tell you I was in a cold sweat. And then something started Breathing down my neck And I was runnin'... Can you believe it? Conceive it? I thought I dreamed it. Can you believe it? I just kept on runnin', oh... Take me home, mama, Take me home. Dont leave me here, mama, All alone. Hey, mama, come and save me From my head, Just wanna be back home Safe in bed, please... [Oh mama, hallucinations are gettin' through... Oh mama, can I rely on you? Oh mama, I can feel the pain... Right now In the middle of my brain...]
