House of Ghosts

I'm stuck in the house

That once belonged to you

I'm stuck in the house

Lost without myself

I'm stuck in the house

Don't know where I'm going to

I'm stuck in the house

Dust upon the shelf

But babe , I'm standing still

Frozen on the ridge

The stars tip-toe to their ancestral places

The books on the walls

Dream ominous dreams

And armies of shadows are walking out their pages

I'm stuck in the house

That once belonged to you

I'm stuck in the house

Lost without myself

I'm stuck in the house

Don't know where I'm going to

I'm stuck in the house

Dust upon the shelf

The names and numbers

Grow meaningless in my mind

Patterns disintegrate on the black surface of night

And since the moon arose

She swallowed all memories

Insatiable hunger she bears

That never will cease

I'm stuck in the house

I'll wait

I'm going out

There's nothing left to do

The door closes behind me

The moon had help here too

The night turns itself over

Into a newborn day

The key's under the doormat

For the next who comes to stay

He's stuck in the house

That once belonged to you

Stuck in the house

Lost without himself

Oh, he's stuck in the house

Don't know what he will do

He's stuck in the house

Dust upon the shelf

Stuck in the house

(The names and numbers)

That once belonged to you

(Patterns disintegrate)

Stuck in the house

(On the black surface of night)

(And since the moon arose)

He's stuck in the house

(She swallowed all my dreams)

You know what he will do

He's stuck in the house

That never will cease

And then I wonder

Leaving from there

Was always so sad
