I Want To Be Alone Lyrics

I want to be alone

Inside my happy home

No more doorbells

No more knocks

No telephone

No friendly thoughts

No trick or treat

For the brats up the street

No postie coming to the door

Dropping letters to my threadbare floor

No passing saviours of the Godly crew

No more milk

When water from the tap will do

No packages

No strangers in macs

To ask when I last paid my income tax

No prying eyes

No one to sympathise

No one to make me open up my blinds.

Cause this is my house.

My house.

My castle and my home

I am better off alone

To wrest with all the ghosts

I have disturbed with all my thoughts

And to die with all the deeds

That stain my memory

Ragged, dragged across the carpet

Down upon my knees.

Leave me alone

This is my home.

My sacred place

Where my face

Cannot be seen.

I want to be alone,

Unplug the telephone,

Curse and cry as I desire,

Beg for mercy from

The Devil's fire.

Take a moment to work it out

Cause for a moment

I had a doubt

That maybe I should have opened the door

And sniffed the world a little more

To take the risk that pain would thrive

To let me know that I'm alive

But I would rather be alone

Be left to sit upon my threadbare throne

And wait and wait and wait

For the day

When I can say

My day is done.

Cause this is my house.

My house.

My castle and my home

I am better off alone

To wrest with all the ghosts

I have disturbed with all my thoughts

And to die with all the deeds

That stain my memory

Ragged, dragged across the carpet

Down upon my knees.

Leave me alone

This is my home.

My sacred place

Where my face

Cannot be seen.

I want to be alone

Inside my happy home

Commit murder if I wish

Or lick the remnants from

Fido's dish

To sit naked on my couch

With my eyes ablaze and

Tits hanging out

And to demise upon my favourite chair

In the comfort that they'll leave me there

To haunt what was

What always was

My happy home.

Cause this is my house.

My house.

My castle and my home

I am better off alone

To wrest with all the ghosts

I have disturbed with all my thoughts

And to die with all the deeds

That stain my memory

Ragged, dragged across the carpet

Down upon my knees.

Leave me alone

This is my home.

My sacred place

Where my face

Cannot be seen.

Cause this is my house.

This is my house.

Cause this is my house.

My house.

Leave me alone.
