Curved Air – Phantasmagoria lyrics
I bet you sometimes wonder
What is standing right behind you
Keep looking over your shoulder to see if it's there
A solemn church bell dealing
Some Mephistophelean stealing
Quietly along through the night to hide under your bed

Don't ring for a taxi
Don't call a policeman
Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills
Don't hide in the cellar
You may not believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you

You run upstairs to lie there
Waiting for the floor to creak
And something goes bumpity bumpity bump up the stairs
The time has come to wonder
Who could be the owner of that
Cold, clammy hand that's exploring the end of the bed

Don't ring for a taxi
Don't call a policeman
Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills
Don't hide in the cellar
You may not believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you

So if you get lonely
Just think of the summer
And swimming in sky blue, drift your mind away

So when next time comes
You feel you're being followed by a
Ghoul with a highly intelligent flair for a bet
Just turn and take it by the hand
And lead it home and tell it
"Take it from me that you need all the friends you can get"

Don't ring for a taxi
Don't call a policeman
Don't send for a doctor he'll just give you pills
Don't hide in the cellar
You may not believe it
It's probably friendly, just alone like you

So if you get lonely
Just think of the summer
And swimming in sky blue, drift your mind away
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la

    The line "fool with a highly intelligent bear for a pet" is wrong, wrong, wrong! The actual lyrics (from the original album flyers) are:
    So when next time comes you feel like you're being followed.
    By a ghoul with a highly intelligent flair for a bet,
    Just turn and take it by the hand and lead it home and tell it,
    "take it from me that you need all the friends you can get. ".
