House of ghosts

I'm stuck in the house that once belonged to you
I'm stuck in the house, lost without myself
I'm stuck in the house, don't know where I'm goin' to
I'm stuck in the house, dust upon the shelf

The pale moon's standing still, frozen on the ridge
The stars tiptoe to their ancestral places
The books on the wall dream ominous dreams
And armies of shadows are walking off their pages

I'm stuck in the house that once belonged to you
I'm stuck in the house, lost without myself
I'm stuck in the house, don't know where I'm goin' to
I'm stuck in the house, dust upon the shelf

The names and numbers grow meaningless in my mind,
Patterns desintegrate on the black surface of night
And since the moon arose, she swallowed all memories
Insatiable hunger she bears that never will cease
I'm stuck in the house...

I'm stuck in the house
I'm stuck in the houseI'm stuck in the house...

I'm goin' now, there's nothing left to do
The door closes behind me, the moon had her fill too
The night turns itself over into a newborn day
The key's under the doormat for the next who comes to stay...

He's stuck in the house that once belonged to you
Stuck in the house, lost without himself
He's stuck in the house, don't know what he will do
He's stuck in the house, dust upon the shelf

Stuck in the house

Stuck in the house (the names and numbers)
That once belonged to you (patterns desintegrate)
Stuck in the house (on the black surface of night) (And since the moon arose)
He's stuck in the house (she swallowed all memories)
Don't know what he will do (insatiable hunger she bears)
He's stuck in the house, that never will cease...

Always, always (stuck in the house) -
And I wonder, leaving from there
Was always so sad
(Always...)
