Ghost Quartet the Musical - Fathers & Sons Lyrics

(Music and Lyrics by Dave Malloy)

DAVE & BRENT (Edgar & Fool)
Let me drink tonight
Don’t bother me
You all can go away
And just the bottle can stay
La da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da da da

I’m never really happy
And i’m never really sad
But i’m a pretty bad lover
And i’d probably be a deadbeat dad

DAVE
My son my son
Get away from me
Strike out on your own
Pack your bags up and flee
And never look back
At your rotten pop
Drinking in the bathroom
Of an ice cream stop

BRENT (Fool/Pusher)
My dad my dad
I’m outta here
I’ll finish my drink
And then i’ll disappear
And i’m gonna play the cello
In a rock’n’roll band
Make money on the side
At my heroin stand

And if anyone pushes me
I’m gonna push them back
Yeah if anyone pushes me
I’m gonna push them back

DAVE & BRENT
La da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da da da

La da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da da da

BRITTAIN & GELSEY (Rose & Pearl)
There’s a man on the platform
Screaming about the apocalypse
Screaming about the day of revelation
The day of revelation is at hand

Reveal it to me
Reveal me everything
Reveal it to me please right now
Reveal it to me please right now

DAVE & BRENT
I’m never really happy
And i’m never really sad
But i’m a pretty bad lover
And i’d probably be a deadbeat dad
