Intro

    

Verse 1

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

Bridge 1

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 forget
The happy phantom has no right to bitch

Chorus

Woo hoo, the time is getting closer
Woo hoo, the time to be a ghost
Woo hoo, everyday we’re gettin’ closer
The sun is getting dim
Will we pay for who we've been?
Yeah

Verse 2

So if I die today, I’ll be the happy phantom
And I’ll go wearing my naughties like a jewel
They’ll be my ticket to the universal opera

Bridge 2

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

Chorus

Woo hoo, the time is getting closer
Woo hoo, the time to be a ghost
Woo hoo, everyday we’re gettin’ closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I've been?
Yeah

Bridge 3

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?

Chorus

Woo hoo, the time is getting closer
Woo hoo, the time to be a ghost
Woo hoo, everyday we’re gettin’ closer
The sun is getting dim
Will I pay for who I've been?
Yeah

Outro

And if I die today  
And if I die today  
etc etc
