The portrait

The portrait Lyrics

(Music and lyrics by King Diamond)
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 be my friend, I know you¹re there
Speak to be my friend... speak to me... SPEAK TO ME !
I can always feel it¹s there, creeping one step behind me
Cold hands in the night, I know that it¹s watching me
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
Speak to me my friend, let me hear your tongue
³I don¹t like most of those you invite... Get them out², GET THEM OUT !
Solos : Simonsen - La Rocque
Speak to me my friend, I know you¹re there
Speak to me my friend, speak to me... SPEAK TO ME !
My guests can never tell, when it¹s creeping up to touch them
They will never ever know our game
Until they feel it and scream
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend of a foe
The Poltergeist living in my home
Could be a friend for life or a foe until the night I die
Speak to me my friend, we are one and the same
Now that you¹re living here... Welcome home... Welcome home
You can stay forever
