Artist/Band: Elvis Costello
Lyrics for Song: Stranger In The House
Lyrics for Album: 2 1/2 Years [1993]



This never was one of the great romances

But I thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes

But now they look in tired and bitter glances

At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise

I get the feeling that I don't belong here

But there's no welcome in the window anyway

And I look down for a number on my keychain

'Cause it feels more like a hotel everyday



There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face

But everybody says he's taken my place

There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see

But everybody says he looks like me



And now you say you've got no expectations

But I know you also miss those carefree days

And for all the angry words that passed between us

You still don't understand me when I say



There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face

But everybody says he's taken my place

There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see

But everybody says he looks like me
