Happy Phantom

Music and Lyrics by Tori Amos


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 close
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

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who 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

Oo who the time is getting close
Oo who time to be a ghost
Oo who 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
