The Poltergeist Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Some would say there is trouble in my home
Even when I am alone
Some would say there is always someone home
Even though I might be gone
Speak to me my friend, I know you are there
Speak to me my friend, speak to me, speak to me!
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can always feel it's there, creeping one step behind me
Cold hands in the night, I know that it's watching me
[Chorus]
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend or a foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life or a foe until the night I die
Die, die
[Bridge]
Speak to me my friend, let me hear your tongue
"I don't like most of those you invite, get them out"
Get them out
[Guitar Solos : Herb Simonsen / Andy LaRocque]
[Verse 2]
Speak to me my friend, I know you're there
Speak to me my friend, speak to me, speak to me!
[Pre-Chorus 2]
My guests can never tell, when it's creeping up to touch them
They will never ever know our game until they feel it and scream
[Chorus]
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend or a foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life or a foe until the night I die
Die, die
[Outro]
Speak to me my friend, we are one and the same
Now that you're living here, welcome home, welcome home
You can stay forever
