“Happy Phantom” by Tori Amos

Dedicated to V.L. who kindly lent me the disc by Tori Amos

To be a happy phantom and to be free
Is lacking of guts, to my point of view.
Why not in this world a happy living?
Even thu people think of you as weir.
Afterlife is ridiculously remote and uncertain
“Now” is the right time to be your own captain.
Wearing a mask is an ultimate sin.
As if you were a solemn soldier of tin.
Appear with a face amusingly severe
And speak with hypocritical morality.
We are all born in pure nudity
Only cowards hide for their safety.
You know, your true identity is so unique
So, with dignity you hold up high your chin.

下方是Happy Phantom的歌詞－－



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
