If I Come Home - Nicotine Dolls

I come home And I find myself alone again And I need your voice on the phone To remind me of how brave I am Cause I get scared at night and I lose my heart I see faces in my window, I hear noises in the dark I lose my mind between the front door and the car But you cannot run from demons They know just where you are And I buy draperies to keep me in Cause I fear my heart is beating on the outside of my skin And anyone who wants to can look on in They will find me in my solitude Yeah, sometimes in my sin Cause these walls ain? t thick enough to keep out the sound Of the ghosts who dance outside my door They feed upon the ground They stepped on from the heavens They reach up from the mud Their eyes are empty They are looking for blood There was a lady, she lived next door She ain? t living anywhere anymore No, she died slowly and full of pain And I never saw her face and I never learned her name But she visits me on some days She asks me where I come from She asks me why I stay But she knows that I get scared at night and I lose my heart See faces in my window, I hear noises in the dark And I lose my mind between the front door and the car But you cannot run from demons They know just where you are They know just where you are And I come home And I need your voice on the phone I need your voice on the phone I need your voice on the phone I need your voice

If I take you home tonight I will think of songs to sing to you Music filled with joy and light If I take you home tonight If I tell you how I feel Would you be afraid and run away?

I went from Moscow to St. Petersberg On the midnight train I knew I must go, two years without a word Could you feel the same? Eleven thirty, at the Vok Sal My guardian angel knew My frozen footfall, on the platform Leads me back to you This coldest of wars Where I stand to lose The best thing I ever had It's something I want so bad Ten hours from Leningrad To see your face again Is all I need You give the life to me And air to breath And when you're there, well then I'm not so cold When we're alone again As close as Russian dolls Did I see you? Oh I can't be sure In the gathering crowd Our connection, always so secure Signal's not so loud So I come to you What else can I do? You're the best thing I ever had You're something I need so bad Ten seconds from Leningrad To see your face again Is all I need You give the life to me And air to breath And when you're there, well then I'm not so cold When we're alone again As close as Russian dolls
