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 oo who the
time is getting closer oo who time to be a ghost oo
who 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
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…
