Stranger In The House Lyrics by Elvis Costello

Stranger In The House Lyrics

    This never was one of the great romances
    But i thought you'd always have those young girl's eyes
    But now they look in tired and bitter glances
    At the ghost of a man who walks 'round in my disguise

    I get the feeling that i don't belong here
    But there's no welcome in the window anyway
    And i look down for a number on my keychain
    'cause it feels more like a hotel everyday

    There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
    But everybody says he's taken my place
    There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
    But everybody says he looks like me

    And now you say you've got no expectations
    But i know you also miss those carefree days
    And for all the angry words that passed between us
    You still don't understand me when i say

    There's a stranger in the house; nobody's seen his face
    But everybody says he's taken my place
    There's a stranger in the house no one will ever see
    But everybody says he looks like me
