Stranger than fiction
Larger than life
Full of shades and echoes
It's the story of my life
Just like a picture book
Daddy's gone away
Leaving Mummy in her room
With another one on the way
At night I've heard her screaming
Through the coloured walls
Oh please don't leave me alone
Please don't leave me alone
(spoken) And even her friend the hippyman
With his tarot cards to lay
Drowning in his sea of words
Why he never has much to say
And I see him standing by
Singing to the birds
Just like the mystic says
Be careful of what you say
Talking to himself he needs no one
To help him on his way
Do you?
At nights I've heard them screaming through the candle flame
Oh please don't leave me alone
Please don't leave me alone
