Haunted Man

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
