I opened my eyes this morning, looked through my window outside Suddenly something took me away by surprise Veil on the skyline, written in broad daylight My own name was there, how it gave me a terrible fright Yeah, yeah, phantom writer My name's in the sky Yeah, yeah, phantom writer Why? Why, oh, why? Phantom writer Tell me you're real or are you alive? Like a sunrise, eat my home bread sign
And all too soon, I can get to fade the lines Coming hopes, as I felt my mood fading away Now I'm somewhere, screaming out in the day Yeah, yeah, phantom writer My name's in the sky Yeah, yeah, phantom writer Why? Why, oh, why? Phantom writer Know that you're in, there's love in your eyes Yeah Yeah, yeah, phantom writer My name's in the sky Yeah, yeah, phantom writer Why? Why, oh, why?
