A Prisoner Of The Past Lyrics - Singles - Prefab Sprout

I'm a ghost to you now 

I'm someone you don't really wish to see 

I'm a ghost to you now 

A shadow since you turned your back on me 

Maybe you'll learn 

Why it was I shook 

Baby your turn 

To wear the haunted look 

This ghost is here to stay 

I survived the blast 

Get ready, get ready to pay 

I'm taking you at last 

A prisoner of the past 

This ghost is here to stay 

He survived the blast 

Get ready, get ready to say 

"I've found my niche at last 

A prisoner of the past" 

Anywhere that you go 

I'm going to be the welcome there for you 

Everywhere that you go 

Be certain that the table's set for two 

Maybe you'll learn 

There's nowhere you can go 

Baby you'll turn 

As white, as white as snow 

This ghost is here to stay 

I survived the blast 

Get ready, get ready to pay 

I'm taking you at last 

A prisoner of the past 

This ghost is here to stay 

He survived the blast 

Get ready, get ready to say 

"I've found my niche at last 

A prisoner of the past" 

This ghost is here to stay 

I survived the blast 

Get ready, get ready to pay 

I'm taking you at last 

A prisoner of the past
