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
