Lyrics Uninhabited Man - Richard Thompson

Uninhabited Man

Only a misdirected dart
At an unprotected heart
I’m sure it happens every day
Just a passing interlude
A fresh face to change the mood
I’ll find my feet again you say
What rock I had you rolled
What rock I had you rolled away
But I live as best I can
Meet the uninhabited man
Please read the sign and walk away
What an old dry shell I am
The uninhabited man
I’ll find my feet again you say
No doubt they’ll pull me down
No doubt they’ll pull me down someday
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Who’s been sitting in my chair
Who’s been licking in my bowl
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
A romantic ruin am I
Funny how I catch the eye
The vacuum slowly sucks you in
I’m left no skill, no art
To meet you heart to heart
You’ll find no me beneath the skin
And if there’s no me then there’s no
And if there’s no me then there’s no sin
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
And who’s been sitting in my chair
Who’s been licking in my bowl
Who’s been sleeping in my bed
