Phantasmagoria

I bet you sometimes wonder

What is standing right behind you

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

For some the church bell pealing

For some the risk of feeling and stealing

Quietly alone through the night looking 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

Don't ever believe it

It's probably friendly, just alone like you

You run upstairs to lie there

Waiting for the floor to creak and

And something goes bumpity bumpity bump up the stairs

The time has come to wonder

Who the people all look up at

Home ??? but 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

Fool with a highly intelligent bear for a pet

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
