Curved Air - Phantasmagoria Lyrics
I bet you sometimes wonderWhat is standing right behind youKeep looking over your shoulder to see if it's thereFor some the church bell pealingFor some the risk of feeling and stealingQuietly alone through the night looking under the bedDon't ring for a taxiDon't call a policemanDon't send for a doctor he'll just give you pillsDon't hide in the cellarDon't ever believe itIt's probably friendly, just alone like youYou run upstairs to lie thereWaiting for the floor to creak andAnd something goes bumpity bumpity bump up the stairsThe time has come to wonderWho could be the owner of thatCold, clammy hand that's exploring the end of the bedDon't ring for a taxiDon't call a policemanDon't send for a doctor he'll just give you pillsDon't hide in the cellarYou may not believe itIt's probably friendly, just alone like youSo if you get lonelyJust think of the summerAnd swimming in sky blue, drift your mind awaySo when next time comesYou feel you're being followed by aGhoul with a highly intelligent flair for a betJust turn and lead it by the handAnd lead it home and tell it“Take it from me that you need all the friends you can get”Don't ring for a taxiDon't call a policemanDon't send for a doctor he'll just give you pillsDon't hide in the cellarYou may not believe itIt's probably friendly, just alone like youSo if you get lonelyJust think of the summerAnd swimming in sky blue, drift your mind awayLa-la-la-la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-laLa-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la
