The ghoul of goodwill
He lingers between here and there
He's emotionally upset
He's hopelessly fragile
He falls down
He falls down
He can't stand the food
He doesn't trust the water
He hates the news
He always sleeps
He's gonna dream his life away
He's gonna dream his life away
The ghoul of goodwill
He tries and tries again
He knows he's just a little man
He's afraid of the little man
He falls down
He falls down
He tries to be well behaved
He often takes a drink
He loves the ones he loves
He often takes a drink
He's gonna dream his life away ... etc.
