about
Who is the criminal???
lyrics
Ghost:
There is no rain, no light no sound
Keep your ears clean and close to the ground
In the stillness it's easy to forget
No one will be missed in this town of neglect
Ghost:
The babies
Mamas:
Have gone to sleep
Ghost:
The Mamas
Mamas:
Have gone away.
The night is young
Ghost:
And now the time is perfect!
They won't hear, won't see at all
How long before they notice something is wrong
They are gone
They are gone
Mamas:
Ah ah ah
Detective:
How can I help you?
Mamas:
They are gone.
We looked away now everything's gone.
Detective:
Never fear I'm here to help you
Nothing stays hidden from me very long
This is nothing
I've seen much worse
Some babies are gone
Ghost:
And as some time went by
Mamas & Detective:
Criminal criminal
Who is the criminal?
Ghost:
The crimes became a pile
Mamas and Detective:
Following following
Lead us to the babies
Detective:
I feel I'm honing in
Mamas:
There it goes there it goes
Mamas & Detective:
The baby-stealing Ghost
Ghost:
They came so close
Detective:
There it is!!!
Mamas:
Ah ah
Ghost:
You think you've come in the nick of time?
Watch these babies turn into FLIES!
Mamas:
Ah ah ah!
Detective:
And in disguise, concealed as a child
This thief will come to me
Haha....shh
Mamas & Detective:
Fall for the trap!
I have captured the Ghost!
Mamas:
Hooray! He got the ghost and now we're gonna have our babies back!
Detective:
Miscreant! You're gonna come with me.
What do you have to say for yourself?
Ghost:
Looking up, somehow the colors have all turned to mud
I can't control my own hands, like something is tethering me
I keep on reaching for these babes that I cannot see
Detective:
Quite a tale
I don't care
You're coming with me
Ghost:
I feel nothing..now
Detective:
Criminal criminal
Cannot restrain this one
Ghost:
Can't feel your hands on me
Detective:
I do not understand
Cannot contain this one
Ghost:
I pass right through it all
Detective:
Through my hands
Through the bars
Detective & Ghost:
Now there is nothing here
Ghost:
And now I'm gone.

Quite a departure from the wild territories they ventured into with their major label releases. So far, the greatest thrash metal I've heard released in the 2020's. Plus, it's not everyday you hear Rhea Perlman on a metal record. t0cktock
