Haunted Man Lyrics

I left you by the doorway

I left you by the trash

I left you in the savannah

On the seabed of my past

I left you in a scavenger's daughter

Tied you to a Spanish chair

I sent you off to purgatory

On ever descending stairs

But I swear to you

That in my dreams

An apparition comes to me

With trickery lips

It mouths to me

'I won't ever set you free'

I buried you in a drawer

Where I hide my misshaped glories

Of former lovers and the fossils they form

In half-witted letters and skeleton stones

I left you in a hollow tree

With branches intertwined

I left you adrift on a dead pan lake

On the outskirts of my mind

But I swear to you

That in my dreams

An apparition comes to me

As I fight to wake up

I can hear it scream

'I won't ever set you free'

I'm a haunted man

I'm a haunted man

Being used up as your host

I'm a haunted man

A haunted man

Haunted by your ghost

Someone call an exorcist

I'm afraid pretty soon

My head will twist

I'm a haunted man

Don't you see I am

Crawling up these walls

I'm a haunted man

'Cause I never meant

To see you leave at all
