Stranger Than Fiction - Split Enz

Stranger than fiction

Larger than life

Full of shades & echoes

It’s the story of my life

Just like a picture book

Daddys gone away

Leaving Mummy in her room

With another one on the way

At nights I’ve heard her screaming

Through the coloured walls

(d-d-d-d-d-d-did you … ???)

Oh please don’t leave me alone

Please don’t leave me alone

And even her friend the hippyman

With his tarot cards to play

Drowning in his sea of words

Why he never has much to say

And I’ve seen him standing by the river

Singing to the birds

Just like the mystic says

Be careful of what you say

Talking to himself he needs no one

To help him on his way

Do you?

At nights I’ve heard him screaming

Through the candle flame

(d-d-d-d-d-d-did you … ???)

Oh please don’t leave me alone

Please don’t leave me alone
