Songtexte Tacipsy - Thomas Mac

Three hundred sixteen years ago
One pile of dirt and ten feet below
He gave up his damn soul for her
And at midnight when them stars come out
She swears she can see him walking around
And everybody in that little town
Started spreading the word

Don't go to Poughkeepsie
If you ever end up down south
Unless you want the memory
Of the dead walking about
He's long gone, but he's still hanging around
Don't go to Poughkeepsie
It's a ghost town

She got a lot less crazy for a couple of moons
'Til a man from nowhere in a dark red suit
Heard about the rumors, came passing through and found her
He said, "Honey, I can bring your souls back together
And make all that pain feel a little bit better
You can walk with your love forever
Now this might hurt"

Don't go to Poughkeepsie
If you ever end up down south
Unless you want the memory
Of the dead walking about
She's long gone, but she's still hanging around
Don't go to Poughkeepsie
It's a ghost town

Now back in '63, the town went up in flames
And where it used to be, there's an interstate
But every once in a while, when it's late
A car breaks down
And there's rumors 'bout the shadow of a woman and a man
Walking down the highway, holding hands
Some say they're looking for the promised land
But I think they prefer the South

Don't go to Poughkeepsie
If you ever end up down south
Unless you want the memory
Of the dead walking about
They're both long gone, but they're still hanging around
Don't go to Poughkeepsie
It's a ghost town
