Come Back Swinging Lyrics

The stairs can creak all they want to

The door can close on its own

Fling the frames from the walls

Call my ghost from the shallow earth

I'll wear my bones on the outside

Rattle my cage

I'll pull it together

Poltergeist, pull up a seat

More of the same

Returning to sender

Spit out the tang of defeat

And come back swinging

Permanent sleep, it can taunt you

I closed that door on my own

I am tired and haunted

Yet upright and undaunted

I wear my heart on the outside

Rattle my cage

I'll pull it together

Poltergeist, pull up a seat

More of the same

Returning to sender

Spit out the tang of defeat

And come back swinging

Flicker the lights

Jiggle the doorknob

You can be the face I imagine in the window

Flicker the lights

I'll still oblige

First I'll scream my head off

Then I'll come back swinging

Rattle my cage

I'll pull it together

Poltergeist, pull up a seat

More of the same

Returning to sender

Spit out the tang of defeat

Rattle my cage

I'll pull it together

Poltergeist, pull up a seat

More of the same

Returning to sender

Spit out the tang of defeat

And come back swinging
