The Ghost of Liberace
[Verse 1]
It was a dark and stormy night that I stepped out
Something strange was in the air, I couldn't figure it out
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Who's there, tell me what you want from me
Oh no, I can't believe what I now see
[Verse 2]
They say the paranormal's just a sucker's game
I keep an open mind, but deep down I feel the same
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh no, now I think I've changed my mind
Oh no, now I know I've changed my mind
[Chorus]
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
Hovers over farmland, lingers over towns
The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique
If he were alive he'd now be at his peak
The ghost of Liberace
The ghost of Liberace
[Verse 3]
Across the street, in fact across the whole damn town
They're making fun of him, they try to put him down
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Oh yeah, but I wished they'd let him be
Oh yeah, he's not hurting you or me
[Verse 4]
Sometimes he blinds the drivers with his shiny suits
They see that smile and they laugh at him, hey don't shoot!
[Pre-Chorus 4]
Oh no, now he's hung in effigy
On no, why can't they just let him be?
[Refrain]
The ghost of Liberace
The ghost of Liberace
[Chorus]
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
Hovers over farmland, lingers over towns
The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique
If he were alive he'd now be at his peak
[Chorus]
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
Hovers over farmland, lingers over towns
The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique
If he were alive he'd now be at his peak
[Verse 5]
He hums Evita and Moon River and Michelle
Maybe that's why the people scream out "go to hell"
[Pre-Chorus 5]
Oh no, now they're throwing cans of beer
Oh no, I thought ghosts could disappear
[Verse 6]
But he remains in all his glory, it's so strange
These aren't the kind of people that he can change
[Pre-Chorus 6]
But wait, now they're starting to applaud
I guess there really is a God above
[Chorus]
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
Hovers over farmland, lingers over towns
The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique
If he were alive he'd now be at his peak
[Chorus]
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
Hovers over farmland, lingers over towns
The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique
If he were alive he'd now be at his peak
[Outro]
The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging 'round
