Never Tell a Ghost the Truth
Sister Brown knows the time has come
to throw out the bathwater with the baby
and we oughta run, run, run to the setting sun
All I ever wanted was a television, television
Never tell a ghost the truth, they won't believe you anyway
I throw a coin into the well and watch it disappear
into the darkness of the void
I'll never understand it anyway
Carole sings Do re me
Share my blasphemy in a short rhyme
Cheers to those happier times
Let’s run, run, run to the setting sun
All I ever wanted was a happy ending, happy ending
I’m a Goldilocks, I know I don’t belong here anyway
I throw a coin into the well and watch it disappear
into the darkness of the void
I'll never understand it anyway
Dream in Kodachrome
Dream the day away
Took a holiday
Took in a matinee
Left on a Saturday
Stopped for gasoline
Around, around I drew you circles in the street
I’m a sliver moon, a painted fingernail
I’m a roll of quarters
Cash me in for bail
Took a honeymoon, the wedding ring is fake
Morning never comes
My watch is running late
All I ever wanted was a television, television
Never tell a ghost the truth, they won't believe you anyway
I throw a coin into the well and watch it disappear
into the darkness of the void
I'll never understand it anyway
All I ever wanted was a happy ending, happy ending
I’m a Goldilocks, I know I don’t belong here anyway
I throw a coin into the well and watch it disappear
into the darkness of the void
I'll never understand it anyway
