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.
