The Photograph Lyrics

[CHORUS (Dave & Brent)]

HOW DID ROSE LOSE HER CAMERA?



[GELSEY (Pearl)]

SHE THREW IT TO THE GROUND

DISGUSTED BY WHAT SHE HAD DONE



[CHORUS]

WHAT HAD SHE DONE?



[GELSEY]

SHE HAD TAKEN A PHOTOGRAPH OF SOMETHING INAPPROPRIATE

OR RATHER, A PHOTOGRAPH AT AN INAPPROPRIATE TIME

OR RATHER, A PHOTOGRAPH INSTEAD OF BEING A HERO



[CHORUS]

WHAT WAS THE PHOTOGRAPH OF?



[GELSEY]

A GHOST

OR RATHER

A GHOST



[CHORUS]

DOES THE GHOST HAUNT HER?



[GELSEY]

SHE SEES HER EYES WHEN SHE CLOSES HER EYES

HER EYES LOOKING BACK AT HER

HER EYES UNDERNEATH HER EYELIDS

SHE IS ALWAYS SCREAMING



[GELSEY & BRITTAIN]

SCREAMING



[CHORUS]

HAS ANYONE ELSE EVER SCREAMED?



[GELSEY]

HER DAUGHTER

HER SISTER

HER MOTHER

HER LOVER

ROSE



[ALL]

ROSE



[CHORUS]

DOES ROSE BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?



[GELSEY]

ROSE BELIEVES IN THE RESTORATIVE PROPERTIES OF THE OCEAN

IN THE IMPORTANCE OF SHARING MEALS

AND NEVER DRINKING COFFEE ON THE GO

SHE BELIEVES IN THE STANDARD MODEL OF LOVE

IN WHICH THE TWO LOVERS ARE BONDED

INTO SOMETHING GREATER THAN THEMSELVES

SHE BELIEVES IN THE OVERSOUL

THAT ALL LIVING THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE

ARE PART OF A SINGLE CONSCIOUSNESS

SHE BELIEVES IN FRESHLY WASHED LINENS

AND FLOWERS ON THE TABLE

AND BUYING USED BOOKS FULL OF MARGINALIA



[GELSEY & BRITTAIN]

SHE BELIEVES IN SOUL



[CHORUS]

HOW DID HER BELIEF SYSTEM BREAK DOWN

WITH THE APPEARANCE OF THE GHOST?



[GELSEY]

SOFTLY, WITHOUT TRAUMA

IN A SERIES OF IMPERCEPTIBLE SHIFTS



[CHORUS]

HOW MANY PEOPLE HAS ROSE BEEN?



[GELSEY]

ROSE IS THE SAME AS ANYONE ELSE
