XTC Lyrics
"LIVING IN A HAUNTED HEART"

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.
