Ariel Lyrics by Jukebox the Ghost

Let Live & Let Ghosts

2008

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
And a drug addicted cousin caught a wind of the news
That a plot was in motion to take two kids over an ocean
Yeah, he'd 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, 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!
