Stranger than fiction |
|
Larger than life |
|
Full of shades and echoes |
|
It's the story of my life |
|
Just like a picture book |
|
Daddy's gone away |
|
Leaving Mummy in her room |
|
With another one on the way |
|
At nights I've heard her screaming |
|
Through the coloured walls |
|
Oh, please don't leave me alone |
|
Please don't leave me alone |
|
And even her friend the hippyman |
|
With his tarot cards to play |
|
Drowning in his sea of words |
|
Why he never has much to say |
|
And I've seen him standing by the river |
|
Singing to the birds |
|
Just like the mystic says |
|
Be careful of what you say |
|
Talking to himself he needs no one |
|
To help him on his way |
|
Do you? |
|
At nights I've heard him screaming |
|
Through the candle flame |
|
Oh, please don't leave me alone |
|
Please don't leave me alone |
