Late at night I go to bed
Pull the blankets over my head
Thoughts of you get in my brain
Like a faucet drips into a drain
And I can't forget you, though I don't recall
When I ever met you if I met you at all
Are you an illusion? Say it ain't so
Excuse the intrusion, but
I've got no where else that I can go
Oh, there's blood on the blankets
And nobody's there, I sit and I stare
At shadows on the wall

Place a banana peel outside my door
I don't know how I feel
You seem to be sure
Though I don't believe it
I come when you call
Though I can perceive it
I slip and I fall
And I can't forget you
Though I don't recall
When I ever met you
If I met you at all
Are you an illusion? Say it ain't so
Excuse the intrusion, but
I've got nowhere else that I can go

Oh, there's blood on the blankets
And I'm scared
Someone's beside me
But nobody's there, I sit and I stare
At shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall

It's the long-awaited single
From the album unreleased
Artist deceased
You're the bastard undertaker
I'm a corpse beneath your knife
For all of my life, just a dead fish
I've got one wish
I wish you'd stop embalming me
With all your fluid fantasy

And I can't forget you
Though I don't recall
When I ever met you
If I met you at all
Are you an illusion? Say it ain't so
Excuse the intrusion
But I've got nowhere else that I can go

Oh, there's blood on the blankets and I'm scared
Someone's beside me
But nobody's there, I sit and I stare
At shadows on the wall
I said nobody's there, I sit and I stare
That's right, nobody's there, I sit and I stare
Said nobody's there, I sit and I stare
At shadows on the wall

Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
