Happy Phantom (Live) [Montreux 1992]

[Verse 1]

And if I die today I'll be the happy phantom

And I'll go chasing the nuns out in the yard

And I'll run naked through the streets without my mask on

And I will never need umbrellas in the rain

I'll wake up in strawberry fields every day

And the atrocities of school I can forgive

The happy phantom has no right to bitch

[Chorus 1]

Woohoo, the time is getting closer

Oohoo, time to be a ghost

Oohoo, every day we're getting closer

The sun is getting dim

Will I pay for who I've been, yeah?

[Verse 2]

So if I die today I'll be the happy phantom

And I'll go wearing my naughties like a jewel

They'll be my ticket to the universal opera

There's Judy Garland taking Buddha by the hand

And then these seven little men get up to dance

They say Confucius does his crossword with a pen

I'm still the angel to a girl who hates to sin

[Chorus 1]

Woohoo, the time is getting closer

Oohoo, time to be a ghost

Oohoo, every day we're getting closer

The sun is getting dim

Will I pay for who I've been, yeah?

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]

Or will I see you dear and wish I could come back

You found a girl that you could truly love again

Will you still call for me when she falls asleep?

Or do we soon'd forget the things we cannot see?

[Chorus 2]

Woohoo, the time is getting closer

Oohoo, time to be a ghost

Oohoo, every day we're getting closer

The sun is getting dim

Will we pay for who we've been, yeah?

[Outro]

And if I die today

And if I die today

And if I die today

Ah-ah chasing nuns out in the yard
