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 pa**ed 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
