Living In A Haunted Heart Lyrics - Xtc

I stumbled in and I fell straight asleep in the chair 

Swear I did 

Woke with a start and I thought I saw you floating by 

Swear I did 

The fixtures and furniture's the same 

As the second you walked out the door 

But here in my head you put a ghost train 

And I can't go 'round any more 

And I hear the passengers scream 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

And I tell myself it's all a bad dream 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

Too proud to beg you to come back 

One more drink, the fairground fades to black 

Every night 

Days last for years 'til the dark, like a bear, 

Puts his claws around my brain 

Smack! Bang on time, with your laugh, you walk in 

Through the walls around my brain 

The curtains and carpets are the same 

As the day you dissolved in thin air 

Now here I go queueing for the horror ride 

Knowing I don't have the fare 

And I hear the passengers scream 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

And I tell myself it's all a bad dream 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

Too proud to beg you to come back 

As the ghost train rattles 'round its track, 

Every night 

I can't exorcise you or cause you to reappear 

But if you want to know what nothing looks like 

Well just peel back my chest and take a look inside here 

The fixtures and furniture's the same 

As the second you walked out the door 

But here in my head you put a ghost train 

And I can't go 'round any more 

And I hear the passengers scream 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

And you're shaking me apart at the seams 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

My reality is pushed past extremes 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

And I tell myself it's just a bad dream 

I'm living in a haunted heart 

Too proud to beg you to come back 

One more drink, the fairground fades to black.
