I'm the latest apparition Cutting slices in the night I come through without permission Moving in and out of human sight I'm the tapping on your shoulder I'm the raven in the storm I'll take shelter in your rafters I'm the shiver when you're warm
I'm the gold in California I'm the well in Mexico Like the vultures in the valley I will wait for you to go
I'm the gypsy in your pocket I'm the horseman in your dreams I'm the reason dogs are barking I'm the hand that stops the scream
I'm the baby's cry that isn't I am the distant relative I'm the scratching in the ceiling I'm advice you shouldn't give
I'm the ghost of a traveling salesman My foot will be there in your door Though I can walk through walls and windows I will knock just like before
I'm the darkness in your daughter I'm the spot beneath the skin I'm the scarlett on the pavement I am the broken heart within
I won't take a train to nowhere I will not touch just anyone Ask a stranger why I'm waiting In the chamber of a gun
