I opened my eyes this morning, looked through my window outside

Suddenly something took me away by surprise

Veil on the skyline, written in broad daylight

My own name was there, how it gave me a terrible fright

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer

My name's in the sky

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer

Why? Why, oh, why?

Phantom writer

Tell me you're real or are you alive?

Like a sunrise, eat my home bread sign

And all too soon, I can get to fade the lines

Coming hopes, as I felt my mood fading away

Now I'm somewhere, screaming out in the day

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer

My name's in the sky

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer

Why? Why, oh, why?

Phantom writer

Know that you're in, there's love in your eyes

Yeah

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer

My name's in the sky

Yeah, yeah, phantom writer

Why? Why, oh, why?
