[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't forget you
Though I don't recall
When I ever met you
If I met you at all
You're an illusion
Say it ain't so
Excuse the intrusion
But I've got nowhere else that I can go

[Chorus]
Ah, there's blood on the blankets
And nobody's there
I sit and I stare
At shadows on the wall

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't forget you
Though I don't recall
When I ever met you
If I met you at all
You're an illusion
Say it ain't so
Excuse the intrusion
But I've got nowhere else that I can go

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
And I can't forget you
Though I don't recall
When I ever met you
If I met you at all
You're an illusion
Say it ain't so
Excuse the intrusion
But I've got nowhere else that I can go

[Chorus]
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
II sit and I stare
(That's right) Nobody's there
I sit and I stare
(Said) Nobody's there
I sit and I stare

[Outro]
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall-all-all
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall-all-all
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall-all-all
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall-all-all
Shadows on the wall
Shadows on the wall
