Mother Tongue Casper
I knew a boy name Casper
But he was not a friendly ghost
In fact he was feared by most
He’d cross out the names he was after
On the bus stop
He told me to yell, if I saw a cop
Casper the ghost
Everybody knows somebody dead
That should be alive
Are you gonna live, are you gonna die
You better decide
Cause everybody knows somebody dead
That should be alive
Late at night after dark
They got Casper there is Stoner Park
He was sixteen, and now he’s a ghost
Casper the ghost
Everybody knows somebody dead
That should be alive
Are you gonna live, are you gonna die
You better decide
Cause everybody knows somebody dead
That should be alive
But they’re dead
Yes this is a song, a song for the dead
This is a hymn, a hymn for the ghost
That swirl around, around in my head
Everybody knows somebody dead
That should be alive
But they’re dead
