1.It's Better To Be Dead
I present to you a story
set upon a northern shore
the denizens of lighthouse
during times of war
the foolish things they did
the foolish things they said
im sure you will agree
they would be better off dead
lilly keeps the lighthouse
she's afraid the unknown
she's no ray of sunshine
so mostly she's alone
and no one cares about her longing
or the dreams on which she fed
and though im sad to say it
she would be better off dead
next we have a sheriff
charles is his name
hes something of a sideshow
every sheriff is the same
will he stand for justice
or something else instead
either way it hardly matters
hes better off dead
when everything is done
and everything is said
life is naught but pain
its better to be dead
release your heavy heart
rest your weary head
when all the world's at war
it's better, it's better
witness yasujiro
he hails from old japan
he searches for redemption
in this strange and foreign land
and now he works for lilly
to earn his daily bread
but the most that one can say
is that hes better off dead
please welcome young christopher
hes come here on a train
his father flew to heaven
on a fiery aeroplane
hes come to live with lilly
and hes got visions in his head
he may be our main attraction
but hes better off dead
when everything is done
and everything is said
life is naught but pain
its better to be dead
release your heavy heart
rest your weary head
when all the world's at war
it's better to be dead
everything is done
all things are said
its good to be a ghost
its better, its better to be dead
its good to be a ghost
its better to be dead
2.We're Here To Tell You
3.And Now We Sing
And now we'll sing of drowning things
No wondering what might happen
Upon that ship we played the popular songs
Some sang along, now all that's gone
Thrown below the raging tides
We hope to rest, we were denied
So now we haunt the ocean side
Live this pale eternal life
And now you're here and so we'll pass the tide
Secret's ours and phantom wide
And now it seems so long ago
But once we lived, but didn't know
That every life is quite a show
If it answered prayers and tales of woe
4.The Tale Of Solomon Snell
Listen if you will, I have a tale to tell.
Of an unfortunate man, the name of Solomon Snell,
And the philosophy he should have embraced,
That says no matter what you do,
You'll never be safe.
Ring the bell, ring the bell
For Solomon Snell.
Too much trust,
Is the road to Hell
Rightfully nervous, he took every precaution,
He paid three armed men to drive him to Boston.
But wouldn't you know it, he was broke on arrival.
His own men robbed him and took off in style.
So he wanted to marry a girl who was true,
And on the basis of her name he would fidelity prove.
She had a handsome cousin she would visit in Charlotte.
Well she said he was her cousin,
The brazen harlot.
Ring the bell, ring the bell
For Solomon Snell.
He played it safe,
And it didn't end well.
Ring the bell, ring the bell
For Solomon Snell.
Too much trust
Is the road to Hell.
He caught yellow fever, down Charleston way.
Before you knew it, they were digging his grave.
But he was most terrified of being buried alive.
And so to his finger a bell was tied.
You see Snell had arranged for a man to be paid,
To listen for the bell when he was buried in his grave.
But the man got drunk, and when the bell did sound,
Solomon lived but he stayed in the ground.
No one heard a sound.
Ring the bell, ring the bell
For Solomon Snell.
Too much trust is the road to hell.
Ring the bell, ring the bell
For Solomon Snell.
You can play it safe,
But it wont end well.
You can play it safe,
But it wont end well.
You can play it safe,
But it wont end well.
5.Earthbound Starlight
What are you looking at, what do you see？
Is it the truth or a strange fantasy？
Whenever you're watching, changing the scene
The time is a place, this place is a song
Where mothers are distant and fathers are gone
He too may be watching but he's not letting on
Can't dry your eyes or say it's alright
Even though he might and she can't kiss your cheek
As the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
Hey, are you listening？
What is the sound of things that you lose
That you never have found？
You're finding the way or turning around
Dancer with destiny, tempter of fate
The life that you lived is only a taste
Sometimes the sweetest is the time that you waste
I won't dry your eyes or say it's alright
'Cause sometimes that's the lie even if she kissed your cheek
Still the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats
Steal your heart, life is hard, never easy, believe me
There'll be no more questions, maybes or mights
Darkest descends, run out of light
When you go blind you get second sight
The deeper you dive the greater the heights
So don't dry your eyes or say it's alright
Life is hard, it's a fight even if she kissed your cheek
Still the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats
As the days become weeks, no rewind, no repeats
Days, nights, wrongs, rights, earthbound starlight
6.Play Your Part
Here are your lines,
Now stick to the page
Like the wise man said,
'all the world's a stage'
And don't forget,
you have a role to play
You can't improvise
You can never stray
Play your part
You'll go far I can see it now
Play your part
And never stray
Play your part
One of these star we can show you how it goes
Everyones knows
You can't stop the show
It's a treacherous business
It's hard to make a buck
If you don't like how the story ends,
you may be out of luck
'Cause the writer's left the building
The script has been approved
You know who's gonna win this,
and who's gonna lose
Play your part
You'll go far I can see it now
Play your part
And never stray
Play your part
One of these star we can show you how
Play your part
And never stray
Play your part
You'll go far I can see it now
Play your part
And never stray
Play your part
One of these star we can show you how it goes
Everyone knows
You can't stop the show
7.You've Really Gone And Done It Now
You've really gone and done it now,
You've hit the lowest low
You thought that you could handle this
But there's a lot that you don't know.
You're just a child, you haven't learned
The world is cold, the world is rough
And you're not strong and you're not tough
Your moves were just not good enough.
That doesn't look good, doesn't bode well, kid.
You're a ship that's crashed on rocky ground,
Sinking now, soon to drown
That doesn't look good, doesn't bode well, kid.
Things are broke, way past mending.
Don't look now, the world is ending.
Don't look now, the world is ending.
Don't look now, the world is ending.
You've really gone and done it now,
They're sending you away.
High time that you abandon hope,
Get on your knees and pray.
You're all loose lips, and sinking ships,
You never stood a chance.
You tried to be a hero, but you're still in your short pants.
That doesn't look good, doesn't bode well, kid.
Help is far beyond your reach,
Shipwrecked on a barren beach.
Oh yeah, you've really gone and done it now,
Things are broke, way past mending.
Don't look now, the world is ending.
Don't look now, the world is ending.
Don't look now, the world is ending,
Soon.
8.How It Feels
9.I Don't Believe In You
Life is like a sinking ship and you are at the wheel
You see the hole is filling up, you know your fate is sealed
But still you keep on trying to steer the ship to shore
It's time to learn the lesson you should've known before
Well, there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you
No, there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you
No, we don't believe in you
Life is like a ship at sea, we fear of storms to strike
Though you are the captain you can't keep up the fight
The truth is there is much to fear and more to make us cry
The ship is not worth saving hard as you may try
So there's nothing you can do
'Cause we don't believe in you
No, there's nothing you can do
And we don't believe in you
Hate to say it, it's time to face the truth
And we don't believe in you
Try your hardest, you couldn't help but lose
And we don't believe in you
No, we don't believe in you
No, we don't believe in you
