Phantasmagoria Lyrics - Singles - Curved Air

I bet you sometimes wondered 

What is standing right behind you 

Keep looking over your shoulder to see if it's there 

The solemn church bell pealing 

some mephisophelean stealing 

Quietly along through the night to hide under the bed 

Don't ring for a taxi 

Don't call a policeman 

Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills 

Don't hide in the cellar 

You may not believe it believe it 

It's probably friendly, just alone like you 

You run upstairs and lie there 

Waiting for the floor to creak and 

Something goes bumpity bumpity bump up the stairs 

The time has come to wonder 

Who could be the owner of that cold clammy hand 

That's exploring the end of the bed 

Don't ring for a taxi 

Don't call a policeman 

Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills 

Don't hide in the cellar 

You may not believe it 

It's probably friendly, just alone like you 

So if you get lonely 

Just think of the summer 

And swimming in sky blue, drift your mind away 

So when next time comes 

You feel you're being followed by a 

Ghoul with a highly intelligent flare for a bet 

Just turn and lead it by the hand 

And lead it home and tell it 

"Take it from me that you need all the friends you can get" 

Don't ring for a taxi 

Don't call a policeman 

Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills 

Don't hide in the cellar 

You may not believe it 

It's probably friendly, just alone like you 

So if you get lonely 

Just think of the summer 

And swimming in sky blue, drift your mind away 

La-la-la-la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la 

La-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la
