You don't know who I am
I remain the mystery man
Hide behind a pseudonym
Watch the money rolling in
I can be a western hero
A cowboy hat, a bootlace tie
Out on the wild frontier
So stick 'em up and hang 'em high

You don't know who I am
I remain the mystery man
Hide behind a pseudonym
Watch the money rolling in

I can be a secret agent
Espionage, a master spy
Secret weapons in my suitcase
Switchblade taped against my thigh

Oh Ghostwriter

If I put my pen to paper
I can go anywhere I please
If I use my imagination
I can be who I want to be

You don't know who I am
I remain the mystery man
Hide behind a pseudonym
Watch the money rolling in

Oh Ghostwriter
