     (2x)


                                                    
There's bound to be a ghost at the back of your closet
                 
No matter where you live
                                        
There'll always be a few things, maybe several things
                                           
That you're gonna find really difficult to forgive

      

                                              
There's gonna come a day when you'll feel better
                                  
You'll rise up free and easy on that day
                                
And float from branch to branch, lighter than the air
                                               
Just when that day is coming, who can say, who can say
                   
Our mother has been absent
                     
Ever since we founded Rome
                                               
But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home


      

                                       
We're gonna commandeer the local airwaves
                                        
To tell the neighbors what's been going on
                                    
And they will shake their heads, and wag their bony fingers
                                                 
In all the wrong directions and by daybreak we'll be gone


      

                                    
I'm gonna get myself in fighting trim
                                
Scope out every angle of unfair advantage
                              
I'm gonna bribe the officials, I'm gonna kill all the judges
                                                        
It's gonna take you people years to recover from all of the damage
                   
Our mother has been absent
                     
Ever since we founded Rome
                                               
But there's gonna be a party when the wolf comes home
             
Oh
