Happy Phantom - Lyrics by Tori Amos


Lyrics
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 everday
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- everyday 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 jew
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 angle to the girl who hates to sin
Oo whoo- the time is gettin closer
Oo who- the time to be a ghost
Oo who- everyday 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
Oo who- the time is getting closer
Oo who- the time to be a ghost
Oo who- everyday 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' nuns out in the yard
