Blind looking the other way
For something wicked comes
Wicked comes this way


Another dark and lonely night
Fate's grip is setting in

It's over final done

Hey man I'm talkin' to you

You're just a lame (*##$ mother$#&@er
bleeding my dreams
So long to a beautiful thing

There's no looking back I gotta bury the sting

So welcome to nowhere

So phantom number nine

Just like a flicker in the dark

A blackened piece of mind
Will slip away for good


Empty bottles on the floor
Last night is washed away
But there's phantoms at the door


$#&@ off with your negative views
You're just a laid back mother$#&@er

singin' the blues
God knows we're turning circles
So light my fuse and blow away


So welcome to nowhere So...
So cold out here in nowhere So...

Phantom number nine
Phantom number nine


And in this blackened pitch that was a home
A sanctuary turning cold
The stinging sweat of misplaced anger

A distant sunset so long ago

So welcome to nowhere So...

So cold out here in nowhere So...
Phantom number nine
Phantom number nine

Phantom number nine
