The ghost of Lilly Kane
Does not drink cheap champagne;
It's belladonna bourbon all the way
Although her life is past
She's still the upper cla**
Enjoying her eternal holiday
Heaven has the best hotels, the service is exclusive
The rooms are always perfect and the staff is not elusive
And the nightclubs down in Hades are the best there's ever been --
Say what you like about the locals, they've got the copyright on sin, oh
The ghost of Lilly Kane
Subscribes to this refrain
Says 'Life is short, enjoy it while it lasts
Don't try to hedge your bets --
You're bound to have regrets
But in the end it's over way too fast
Life is not a game that has a clear and present winner
And I think you'll find the line is fine between the saint and sinner
They say you could die tomorrow, well, believe me, I should know
You've only got a little while, so have some fun before you go,' oh
And Lilly isn't happy things turned out the way they did;
Sure it's fun to be a phantom, but she was happy as a kid
And she wishes she could tell them she's all right
She spends her days asleep in Heaven, but she's raising Hell at night, oh
The ghost of Lilly Kane
Sees no need to complain
Although there was so much she never tried
She took her own advice
And listed every vice
She'd like to test -- and time is on her side
She wishes she'd lived longer, 'cause she liked the life she had
She was good at being good, but she was best at being bad
And she knows that when her friends arrive, they'll know it's her on sight
Because she spends her days in Heaven, but she raises Hell at night
Sweet Lilly spends her days in Heaven, and she raises Hell all night
