*~* Happy Phantom *~*

And if I die today I'll be the Happy Phantom
And I'll go chasin' 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
Ooh-whoo the time is getting closer
Ooh-whoo time to be a ghost
Ooh-whoo every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we been
So if I die today I'll be the Happy Phantom
And I'll go wearin' 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
Ooh-whoo the time is getting closer
Ooh-whoo time to be a ghost
Ooh-whoo every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been
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 forget the things we cannot see
Ooh-whoo the time is getting closer
Ooh-whoo time to be a ghost
Ooh-whoo every day we're getting closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I been
And if I die today
And if I die today
And if I die today
Chasin' the nuns out in the yard

*~* Time *~*

Well, the smart money�s on Harlow
And the moon is in the street
The shadow boys are breaking all the laws
And you�re east of East St. Louis
And the wind is making speeches
And the rain sounds like a round of applause
Napoleon is weeping in the Carnival saloon
His invisible fiance is in the mirror
The band is going home
It�s raining hammers, it�s raining nails
Yes, it�s true, there�s nothing left for him down here
And it�s Time Time Time
And it�s Time Time Time
And it�s Time Time Time
That you love
And it�s Time Time Time
And they all pretend they�re Orphans
And their memory�s like a train
You can see it getting smaller as it pulls away
And the things you can�t remember
Tell the things you can�t forget that
History puts a saint in every dream
Well she said she�d stick around
Until the bandages came off
But these mamas boys just don�t know when to quit
And Matilda asks the sailors are those dreams
Or are those prayers
So just close your eyes, son
And this won�t hurt a bit
And it�s Time Time Time
And it�s Time Time Time
And it�s Time Time Time
That you love
And it�s Time Time Time
Well, things are pretty lousy for a calendar girl
The boys just dive right off the cars
And splash into the streets
And when she�s on a roll she pulls a razor
From her boot and a thousand
Pigeons fall around her feet
So put a candle in the window
And a kiss upon his lips
Till the dish outside the window fills with rain
Just like a stranger with the weeds in your heart
And pay the fiddler off till I come back again



*~* Little Earthquakes *~*

Yellow bird flying gets shot in the wing
Good year for hunters and Christmas parties
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
elevator music
The way we fight
The way I'm left here silent
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
We danced in graveyards with vampires till dawn
We laughed in the faces of kings never afraid to burn
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
And I hate
disintegration
Watching us with her
Black winged roses that safely changed their colour
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
I can't reach you
can't reach you
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again
Give me life
Give me pain
Give me myself again...
Oh these little earthquakes
Here we go again
These little earthquakes
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces
Doesn't take much to rip us into pieces



*~* Mary *~*

Everybody wants something from you,
Everybody want a piece of Mary
Lush valley all dressed in green
Just ripe for the picking
God I want to get you out of here,
You can ride in a pink Mustang.
When I think of what we've done to you
Oh, Mary, can you hear me?
Growing up isn't always fun,
They tore your dress and stole your ribbons.
They see you cry, they lick their lips,
But butterflies don't belong in nets.
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me ?
Mary, like Jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
Everybody wants you sweetheart,
Everybody got a dream of glory
Las Vegas got a pin-up girl
They got her armed as they buy and sell her
Rivers of milk are running dry,
Can't you hear the dolphins crying?
What'll we do when our babies scream?
Fill their mouths with some acid rain?
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And i hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay nay, ooh ooh
Na nay nay nay nay, na na na nay
Oh butterflies don't belong in nets
Oh Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, you're bleeding
Mary, don't be afraid
We're just waking up
And I hear help is on the way
Mary, can you hear me?
Mary, like Jimmy said
Mary, don't be afraid
'Cause even the wind...
Even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
'Cause even the wind cries your name
Cries your name...
Cries your name...
Cries your name...




*~* Spark *~*

she's addicted to nicotine patches
she's addicted to nicotine patches
she's afraid of the light in the dark
6.58 are you sure where my spark is
here, here, here
she's convinced she could hold back a glacier
but she couldn't keep Baby alive
doubting if there's a woman in there somewhere
here, here, here
you say you don't want it again
and again but you don't really mean it
you say you dont want it
this circus we're in
but you don't you don't really mean it you don't really mean it
if the Divine master plan is perfection
maybe next i'll give Judas a try
trusting my soul to the ice cream assassin
here, here, here
you say you don't want it again
and again but you don't really mean it
you say you don't want it
this circus we're in
but you don't you don't really mean it you don't really mean it
how many fates turn around in the overtime
ballerinas that have fins that you'll never find
you thought that you were the bomb yeah well so did i
say you don't want it
say you don't want it
say you don't want it again
and again but you don't really mean it
say you don't want it
this circus we're in
but you don't you don't really mean it you don't really mean it
she's addicted to nicotine patches
she's afraid of the light in the dark
6.58 are you sure where my spark is
here, here, here




*~* Leather *~*

Look I'm standing naked before you
Don't you want more than my sex
I can scream as loud as your last one
But I can't claim innocence
Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
I could just pretend that you love me
The night would lose all sense of fear
But why do I need you to love me
When you can't hold what I hold dear
Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
I almost ran over an angel
He had a nice big fat cigar
"In a sense" he said "you're alone here
So if you jump you best jump far"
Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god why am I here
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Oh god could it be the weather
Oh god its all very clear
If love isn't forever
And it's not the weather
Hand me my leather
