Lyrics

("What's that?")
("It's four, five, six, seven...")

You can't hear me
You can't hear me
You can't hear what I'm saying
You can't hear what I'm saying to you

You watch the clock
Move the slow hand
I should have been home
Hours ago
But I'm not here
But I'm not here

You can't hear me
You can't hear me
You can't feel me
Here in the room with you now
You can't hear what I'm saying
You don't hear what I'm saying, do you?

Can't let you know
What's been happening
There's a ghost in our home
Just watching you without me
I'm not here
("You don't hear me.") [backwards]
But I'm not here
(You can't hear me.)
But I'm not here
(You don't hear what I'm saying.)

"Don't ignore, don't ignore me
Let me in, and don't be long"*
"Don't ignore, don't ignore me
Let me in and don't be long"
"Don't ignore, don't ignore me
Let me in and don't be long"

"We see you here." [backwards]
"We see you here."
"We see you here."
"We see you here."
"We see you here."
"We see you here."
"We see you here."
"We see you here."

You don't hear me come in
"Help me, baby! help me, baby! talk to me! listen to me
Listen to me! talk to me! help--"
("You can't hear me.") [backwards]
"Listen, baby! listen to me, baby! help me, help me, baby!
Talk to me! talk to me! please, baby, talk to me!"
("You can't hear me.") [backwards]
You won't hear me leaving
