LIVING IN A HAUNTED HEART

XTC · Other Songs - XTC

I stumbled in and I fell straight asleep in the chairSwear

I didWoke with a start and I thought I saw you floating

bySwear I didThe fixtures and furniture's the sameAs

the second you walked out the doorBut here in my head

you put a ghost trainAnd I can't go 'round any moreAnd

I hear the passengers screamI'm living in a haunted

heartAnd I tell myself it's all a bad dreamI'm living

in a haunted heartToo proud to beg you to come backOne

more drink, the fairground fades to blackEvery nightDays

last for years 'til the dark,

like a bear,Puts his claws around my brainSmack!

Bang on time, with your laugh,

you walk inThrough the walls around my brainThe curtains

and carpets are the sameAs the day you dissolved in

thin airNow here I go queueing for the horror rideKnowing

I don't have the fareAnd I hear the passengers screamI'm

living in a haunted heartAnd I tell myself it's all

a bad dreamI'm living in a haunted heartToo proud to

beg you to come backAs the ghost train rattles 'round

its track,Every nightI can't exorcise you or cause

you to reappearBut if you want to know what nothing

looks likeWell just peel back my chest and take a look

inside hereThe fixtures and furniture's the sameAs

the second you walked out the doorBut here in my head

you put a ghost trainAnd I can't go 'round any moreAnd

I hear the passengers screamI'm living in a haunted

heartAnd you're shaking me apart at the seamsI'm living

in a haunted heartMy reality is pushed past extremesI'm

living in a haunted heartAnd I tell myself it's just

a bad dreamI'm living in a haunted heartToo proud to

beg you to come backOne more drink, the fairground fades to black.
