Jukebox The Ghost - Ariel lyrics

He was a family man until
The second baby came
Then he ran and he ran to
A woman with six of 'em
And a Hasidic Jew with a history too
Took the two kids plus the
Six on weekends and holidays

And once in the winter
The family man splintered
In a drug addicted chasm caught
A wind of the news
That a plot was in motion to
Take two kids over an ocean
Yeah, you pack them up their suitcases
He's taking them to Israel
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh ariel!
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh ariel!

He started speakin' in tongues
While the girls were quite young
Leaving heartbroken and beautiful the
Opera singer mother with a step to the phone
And an aggravated moan
Made a call to the cops to
Stop the stealing of her daughters, then she
Went up the stairs
Taking each the steps in pairs
Says "Oh my God, baby girls
I am really scared!"
But a call to the cops made
A stop to the plot
And they fought him and they caught him
With his tickets in his pockets

Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh ariel!
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh ariel!

After a couple of years
She found a phone against her ear
As she waited for an answer
From her long abandoned father, who left
When she was a child weepy
Eyed and mild and she-
She heard a click and said
"Dad, this is your daughter, "
Then she heard a voice, foreign and familiar
And she sang to the
Voice foreign and familiar
And she poured her heart out
Foreign and familiar
And she found herself crying with
A foreign father figure
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh ariel!
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh
Oh ah ah ah, oh ah ah ah oh ariel!
