The Bridge Is Haunted: The Musical

The Ballad of Ghost #12
(But Now I'm Dead)

(VERSE ONE):
(March)

I once had lived a happy life
no cares no dread
no nagging wife

But then the love bug bit me
on the ass.


So fine i found love-thoughts profound
I saved my scents
and cents and sense

Then went ahead and spent them
on a lass.


She bore me fruit, a boy and girl,
and coaxed my hair
to peppered grey.

And gave me joys and sorrows
everyday.



(CHORUS)
(Gospel)

[Call]:  But, now I'm dead.

                      [Response]: Oh, yes! He's dead!

[Call]: I'm really dead.

                      [Response]: Oh, yes! He's dead!

I never will again lie down my heavy, weary head

[Call]:  So, now, I'm dead.

                      [Response]: Oh, yes! He's dead!

[Call]: I'm really dead.

                      [Response]: So very dead!

And now the only thing i have are ghosts inside my head.


(VERSE TWO)
(Waltz)

When I was just a little lad
I asked my father
what will I be?

Will I be witty?
Will I be wise?
Here's what he said to me:

(CHORUS)
(Gospel)

[Call]: Someday, you'll die.

                   [Response]: You're gonna die!

[Call]: Oh, yes, you'll die.

                   [Response]: We dunno why!

And none of it will matter when you're six feet underground.


[Call]: Someday, you'll die.

                   [Response]: You're gonna die!

[Call]: Oh, yes, you'll die.

                   [Response]: Die! Die! Die!


Enjoy the lives you're given til your hearts refuse to pound.
