letra de a ghost in squaretown: extended - ghost circuit

(music)
oh-ha!
oh-ha!

there once was a place called squaretown!
where every one held there pockets tightly
and all who lived there had their faces down
for there lived an apparition of a man who stalked daily and nightly

(chorus)
there once was a ghost in squaretown!
a dreadful man who walked with a sinful crown
oh there once was a man named eric
who looked around with his head down
all who watched would chortle in fear
and three days later there was nothing to hear

in squaretown, where shadows dance and secrets lie
a ghostly figure, once a man, begins to cry
once i was eric, born of flesh and bone
but now i’m but a specter, forever in the unknown

i was the star of the sideshow, a marvel on display
they called me “the marvelous man midway.”
with each twist and contortion, i lit statues on fire
and people would scream
i was quite a liar
oh, it was such a dream!
under the big top, we laughed and played
in squaretown, where our dreams were made
but one dark night, our joy was torn asunder
and that’s when eric was pulled under

the freaks, the wonders, the laughter, and the jeers
all faded away, and now i’m drowned in tears
a secret origin, i carry in my heart
in this spectral form, i play my part

a king looked toward me with a knife and a spear
he had gilded hands and a gilded spear
he said “peasant, you shall now fall
because in the end, the same will be for all”

[as eric sings, the ghostly mist around him grows denser. suddenly, the distant sound of police sirens blares in the background. two police officers, with flashlights in hand, enter from stage left.]

officer 1 (whispering):
there he is, the ghost of squaretown. a nuisance he’s become!

officer 2 (whispering):
we’ll put an end to this madness, once and for all

[the police officers raise their flashlights, revealing eric in the eerie light. they aim their guns, ready to fire.]

in death, i seek solace, in this graveyard so bleak
yet the living fear me, with vengeance they seek
the light of their guns, their anger, their shame
shall i never find peace in this ghostly game?
[the police officers fire their guns, and a burst of light erupts as the bullets travel toward eric. just as the bullets reach him, he raises his arms, and a seven-foot-tall black flame engulfs him, obscuring his form. the officers stop firing, stunned.]

officer 1 (aghast):
oh my god!

officer 2 (terrified):
he’s…vanished into the shadows!

[the black flame slowly dissipates, leaving only an empty graveyard. the police officers stand there in disbelief as the mist swirls around them, and eric’s haunting voice echoes in the background.]

eric (echoing):
i am the ghost of squaretown, with secrets untold
a specter from the past, a story yet to unfold
in the heart of this darkness, my tale will resound
as i haunt these hallowed grounds, in squaretown i’m bound

eric (laughing maniacally)
you will never escape my curse! squaretown is mine till the end of time!
