A Prisoner of the Past Prefab Sprout

I'm a ghost to you now, I'm someone you don't really wish to see
I'm a ghost to you now, a shadow since you turned your back on me
Maybe you'll learn why it was I shook
Baby your turn to wear the haunted look

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past
This ghost is here to stay
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to say
I've found my niche at last
A prisoner of the past

Anywhere that you go, I'm going to be the welcome there for you
Everywhere that you go, be certain that the table's set for two
Maybe you'll learn, there's nowhere you can go
Baby you'll turn, as white, as white as snow

This ghost is here to stay
I survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to pay
I'm taking you at last
A prisoner of the past
This ghost is here to stay
He survived the blast
Get ready, get ready to say
I've found my niche at last
A prisoner of the past
