Rolling Stones: Living In A Ghost Town

Whoa, oh, whoa, oh 

I'm a ghost 
Living in a ghost town 
I'm a ghost 
Living in a ghost town 

You can look for me 
But I can't be found 
You can search for me 
I had to go underground 
Life was so beautiful 
Then we all got locked down 
Feel like a ghost 
Living in a ghost town, yeah 

Once this place was humming 
And the air was full of drumming 
Sound of cymbals crashing 
Glasses were all smashing 
Trumpets were all screaming 
Saxophones were blaring 
Nobody was caring if it's day or night 

Whoa, oh, whoa, oh 
I'm a ghost 
Living in a ghost town 
I'm going nowhere 
Shut up all alone 

So much time to lose 
Just staring at my phone 

Every night I am dreaming 
That you'll come and creep in my bed 
Please let this be over 
Not stuck in a world without end 

Whoa, oh, whoa, oh 
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh, oh 

Preachers were all preaching 
Charities beseeching 
Politicians dealing 
Thieves were happy stealing 
Widows were all weeping 
There's no beds for us to sleep in 
Always had the feeling 
It will all come tumbling down 

I'm a ghost 
Living in a ghost town 
You can look for me 
But I can't be found 

Whoa, oh 
We're all living in a ghost town 
Whoa, oh 
Oh, living in a ghost town 
Whoa, oh 
We were so beautiful 
Whoa, oh 
I was your man about town 
Whoa, oh 
Living in this ghost town 
Whoa, oh 
Ain't having any fun 
Whoa, oh 
If I want a party 
Whoa, oh 
It's a party of one 
Whoa, oh, whoa, oh 

Interpretation of Living In A Ghost Town

In their new song the Rolling Stones show their view on the corona pandemic: As its name says, the song tells us that the towns are deserted and quiet because most of the inhabitants have to stay at home. Not only the towns turn into “ghost towns”, but also humans become a sort of ghosts: As the narrator you can have the impression that you are not really alive. Your smartphone substitutes the real physical world, it means that the fellow human beings also are just photos in your mobile device.
