Verse

he's walking like a ghost

 (on) the wrong side of town

 there's nothing to go home for

 let's go somewhere far

 all summer days indoors

 you were saved by friends

 where have the boys gone?

 it's too late now

Verse 2

elbow in the face

 wrong side of town

 just numbers in the papers

 as life goes by

 where are all these friends that stood by you?

 they wanted to grow fast

 it's too late now

Chorus

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys

Verse 3

he's walking like a ghost

 (on) the wrong side of town

 memories are back

 when friends are gone

 you said you're not like dad

 now look at you

 you've sold your soul for gold

 it's too late now

Chorus 2

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys

Bridge

you end up in a moment when you're not quite sure

 what was it for

the more that we are sure the more we are confused

 and so are you

 and so are you

Verse 4

he's walking like a ghost

 (on) the wrong side of town

 there's nothing to go home for

Chorus 3

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys

 lay down your arms boys
