[Intro] C Em  4x [Verse] It was a dark and stormy night that I stepped out Something strange was in the air I couldn’t figure it out Who’s there tell me what you want from me Oh no I can’t believe what I now see They say the paranormal’s just a sucker’s game I keep an open mind but deep down I feel the same Oh no now I think I’ve changed my mind Oh no now I know I’ve changed my mind [Chorus] The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging ’round Hovers over farmland lingers over towns The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique If he were alive he’d now be at his peak The ghost of Liberace The ghost of Liberace [Verse] Across the street in fact across the whole damn town They’re making fun of him they try to put him down Oh yeah but I wished they’d let him be Oh yeah he’s not hurting you or me Sometimes he blinds the drivers with his shiny suits They see that smile and they laugh at him hey don’t shoot Oh no now he’s hung in effigy On no why can’t they just let him be The ghost of Liberace The ghost of Liberace [Chorus] The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging ’round Hovers over farmland lingers over towns The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique If he were alive he’d now be at his peak The ghost of Liberace The ghost of Liberace [Chorus] The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging ’round Hovers over farmland lingers over towns The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique If he were alive he’d now be at his peak The ghost of Liberace The ghost Of Liberace [Bridge] He hums Evita and Moon River and Michelle Maybe that’s why the people scream out "go to hell" Oh no now they’re throwing cans of beer Oh no I thought ghosts could But he remains in all his glory it’s so strange These aren’t the kind of people he can change But wait now they’re starting to I guess there really is a God above [Chorus] The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging ’round Hovers over farmland lingers over towns The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique If he were alive he’d now be at his The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging ’round Hovers over farmland lingers over towns The ghost of Liberace still has that mystique If he were alive he’d now be at his peak The ghost of Liberace keeps on hanging ’round

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque l'esprit d'une célébrité disparue, qui semble vrombir autour des villes et des campagnes, imprégnant l'atmosphère de son mystère. Alors que certains se moquent de lui et cherchent à le dénigrer, le protagoniste manifeste une empathie envers ce fantôme, qui ne cherche qu'à exister sans nuire à personne. Des souvenirs de sa gloire resplendissante émergent, tandis que des critiques rampent dans l'obscurité, insistant sur sa flamboyance et son passage d’antan. Le contexte reflète une lutte contre le jugement et l’intolérance, en soulignant la beauté de l'authenticité et la nécessité d'accepter les différences. On ressent un mélange de nostalgie et de tristesse face à la façon dont certains traitent l’héritage des artistes, tout en laissant entrevoir une lumière d'espoir, comme si un regard bienveillant de Dieu veillait sur ceux qui sont incompris.
