The Tenant

Stay away from the window Stay away from the door There´s a shadow on the landing Silhouetted against the floor And it doesn´t move at all They hide behind their curtains They creep along the corridors Haunt the corners of this place They lurk behind the spy-hole A grim glare finds a focus on a fractured face Goggle-eyed cyclops with gossiping slime-gobs is branding your name Goat-like laughter from goitrous necks Guffaw congeals in the fevered brain The self-righteous and poisonious finger points to blame You´re namelessly stained And I can´t get no wink of sleep at all I hear their whisper break these walls Can´t overhear their wicked lies Can´t recognise the hidden spies Watched on by their distant eyes Watched on by their distant eyes Watched on by their distant eyes Watched on by distant eyes Portcullis is shut The bridges are burning - but From my towers I see the foe has fortified My sweet sweet home is really a castle A fortress that lies besieged And I can´t get no wink of sleep at all I hear their whisper break these walls Can´t overhear their wicked lies Can´t recognise the hidden spies Watched on by their distant eyes Watched on by their distant eyes Watched on by their distant eyes Watched on by distant eyes No light No motion No touch No sound I can´t live underground Thy home is thy castle Blessed by unearthly hands Be thy doors and windows bolted Every man is meant an island
