lyrics

You come from far away
But you’re too afraid to drive a mile
You asked if you could stay
And while I was still thinking 'bout it
You slipped away
And I found you later curled up in my bed

You told me 'bout the ghosts that haunt you
Mother, brother, daddy,
One who’s dead, and one who’s sick and one who’s much too alive
And I was nodding to your words
That no-one in the world could understand your fear at night
And again I found you later in my bed

chorus:
I know your ghosts, I’ve seen them vanish
Behind the closet door
Let’s lock them up now, quick,
They’ll never show up anymore

While you were acting weak
I felt much stronger than I am
And thought that just like that we could lock away your ghosts
But they had lived there now
For 27 years and did not even think of fleeing
One like me – and let you go

chorus
I know your ghosts, I’ve heard them rumble
Between the carpet and the floor
You can be sure they’re working hard
They’ve got something in store

Have you seen their eyes? – They watch you!
It’s their nails you felt!
Have you heard their voices? – They talk about you!
It’s their breath you smelled!

You wear the sweetest smile, no-one would ever guess
What’s going on behind, and even I
Do hardly know a bit
Though I was showing muscles, love, we’ve got no chance
They’ll catch us both, they’ll wrap us up in sheets
And throw us – into the pit

chorusI fear your ghosts, I feel them gather
To peel your skin and grab your core
No matter where we run and hide
They will be there for evermore
