lyrics

You walk through this town like a ghost,
All the old haunts are empty or closed.
Who you gonna call? Who you gonna call?
No one here believes in you at all.

Your old friends can see through your act.
You’re an outlandish fake in an old photograph.
Is there anybody there? Anybody there?
You've been dead to everyone since the start of the affair.

Unexpected static on your TV screen?
Tired old man in a single sheet? 
A terrible reminder of the lives we lost?
A warning from the past for the local goths.
You make a lot of noise in the night time
Trying to reach the people that you left behind.
The bar staff said that they heard you cry,
You’re a poltergeist. Poltergeist.

Back in the house on the hill,
A burial ground is a strange place to build.
Step into the light, step into the light,
Is this a surrender or a sacrifice?

High school photo flying off the shelf?
A terrifying shadow of your former self?
A story that they tell just to scare the kids,
A campfire classic from the wild West Midlands.
Long, lonely nights in a locked museum,
A graveyard of high hopes and good ideas.
The bar staff said that they heard you cry,
You’re a poltergeist, Poltergeist.

Get out of my house.
Get out of my house.
Get. Out. Of. My. House.
And fucking stay out.
