I present to you a story
Set upon a northern shore The denizens of lighthouse During times of war The foolish things they did The foolish things they said Im sure you will agree They would be better off dead Lilly keeps the lighthouse She's afraid the unknown She's no ray of sunshine So mostly she's alone And no one cares about her longing Or the dreams on which she fed And though im sad to say it She would be better off dead Next we have a sheriff Charles is his name Hes something of a sideshow Every sheriff is the same Will he stand for justice Or something else instead Either way it hardly matters Hes better off dead When everything is done And everything is said Life is naught but pain Its better to be dead Release your heavy heart Rest your weary head When all the world's at war It's better, it's better Witness yasujiro He hails from old japan He searches for redemption In this strange and foreign land And now he works for lilly To earn his daily bread But the most that one can say Is that hes better off dead Please welcome young christopher Hes come here on a train His father flew to heaven On a fiery aeroplane Hes come to live with lilly And hes got visions in his head He may be our main attraction But hes better off dead When everything is done And everything is said Life is naught but pain Its better to be dead Release your heavy heart Rest your weary head When all the world's at war It's better to be dead Everything is done All things are said Its good to be a ghost Its better, its better to be dead Its good to be a ghost Its better to be dead |

Indeed there's such a thing as ghosts
And more to cause you fear You never know where or when But surely they'll appear Quiet men turn into wolves During certain moons And sirens sing their siren songs Sweet and deadly tunes We are here to tell you All of this is real If you are terrified today It's how you're supposed to feel for real We are here to tell you Ghosts are here for good If this doesn't terrify you It should, it should Don't you know the feeling When blood has left your veins And horsemen of apocalypse Ride through poison rains The devil's in the details And in the grand design And once he gets your number He calls you all the time We are here to tell you That all of this is real And if you're terrified today It's how you're supposed to feel for real We are here to tell you Ghosts are here for good If this doesn't terrify you It should, it should |

And now we'll sing of drowning things
No wondering what might happen Upon that ship we played the popular songs Some sang along, now all that's gone Thrown below the raging tides We hope to rest, we were denied So now we haunt the ocean side Live this pale eternal life And now you're here and so we'll pass the tide Secret's ours and phantom wide And now it seems so long ago But once we lived, but didn't know That every life is quite a show If it answered prayers and tales of woe |

What are you looking at, what do you see?
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy? Whenever you're watching, changing the scene The time is a place, this place is a song Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone He too may be watching but he's not letting on Can't dry your eyes or say it's alright Even though he might and she can't kiss your cheek As the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight Hey, are you listening? What is the sound of things that you lose That you never have found? You're finding the way or turning around Dancer with destiny, tempter of fate The life that you lived is only a taste Sometimes the sweetest is the time that you waste I won't dry your eyes or say it's alright 'Cause sometimes that's the lie even if she kissed your cheek Still the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats Steal your heart, life is hard, never easy, believe me There'll be no more questions, maybes or mights Darkest descends, run out of light When you go blind you get second sight The deeper you dive the greater the heights So don't dry your eyes or say it's alright Life is hard, it's a fight even if she kissed your cheek Still the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats As the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight |

You've really gone and done it now
You've hit the lowest low You thought that you could handle this But there's a lot that you don't know You're just a child and haven't learned The world is cold, the world is rough And you're not strong and you're not tough Your moves were just not good enough That doesn't look good, it doesn't bode well, kid You're a ship that's crashed on rocky ground Sinking now, soon to drown That doesn't look good, it doesn't bode well, kid Things are broke, way past mending Don't look now, the world is ending Don't look now, the world is ending Don't look now, the world is ending You've really gone and done it now They're sending you away High time that you abandon hope Get on your knees and pray You're all loose lips and sinking ships You never stood a chance You tried to be a hero But you're still in your short pants That doesn't look good, it doesn't bode well, kid Help is far beyond your reach Shipwrecked on a barren beach Oh yeah, you've really gone and done it now Things are broke, way past mending Don't look now, the world is ending Don't look now, the world is ending Don't look now, the world is ending soon |

Wind so restless, yearning breathless
Sons and daughters sometimes they do meet I remember one September How I felt a strange late summer heat Distant oceans, wild notions When you feel the touch of one you love But they leave you or deceive you All that you can do is cry to heaven above just like us, just like us You'll learn how it feels Hearts break and never heal Secret places, stolen gazes, soft exchanges of you ever dream It will change you how it pains you when it's cold And all that you can do is plead, oh take heed, how we need Can't you see how we need? You'll learn how it feels Hearts break and never heal Tell us how it feels Hearts break and never heal Remember September and how it feels |

Life is like a sinking ship
And you are at the wheel I see the hull, it's filling up You know your fate is sealed Still you keep on trying To steer the ship to shore It's time to learn the lesson You have known before Well there's nothing you can do And we don't believe you No there's nothing you can ever do And we don't believe in you No we don't believe in you Life is like a ship at see Where fears storms do strike Though you are the captain You can't keep up the fight The truth is there is much to fear More to make us cry This ship is not worth saving Hard as you may try So there's nothing you can do 'Cause we don't believe you No, there's nothing you can do And we don't believe in you I hate to say it But it's to face the truth And we don't believe in you Tried your hardest You couldn't help but lose And we don't believe in you No we don't believe in you No we don't believe in you |

Lieutenant Brando, brave commando
We hardly know you rolling in one scene Sheriff Charles, you're a marvel You're better when you don't do anything If you have a bell let it ring You're alive, you should sing But the show's over for now Take a bow [Incomprehensible] hero, dear oh, dear oh We liked you though you had to go away Hey aunt Lily may sound silly To try to wait, may come back someday We won't say anything We are ghosts, we just sing But the show's over for now Take a bow If you have a bell let it ring You're alive, you should sing But the show's over for now Take a bow Christopher hears us, he used to fear us Then decided, he dreamt us all alone Here's a question for just a vision Who's been singing all these ghostly songs? If we learned anything You should love, you should sing But the show's over for now Take a bow If you have a bell let it ring While you live you should sing But the show's over for now Take a bow Yeah, the show's over for now Take a bow Oh, the show's over for now Take a bow |
