Beetlejuice: The musical lyrics

Prologue: Invisible

ENSEMBLE:
Daylight come and me wan' go home

PASTOR:
On days like these, we have no words. We have only each other. Today we've come together to mourn the passing of Emily Deetz, devoted wife of Charles, beloved mother to Lydia. Scripture tells us, "Sorrow not, for we do not walk alone."

LYDIA:
You're invisible when you're sad. Clocks tick and phones still ring. The world carries on like mad. But nobody sees a thing.
Whispering behind their hands, lost for kind words to say. Nobody understands, and everyone goes away.
Grownups wanna fix things when they can't it only fills them with shame, so they just look away. Is it being greedy to need somebody to see me, and say my name?
Seems when you lose your mom, no one turns off the sun. Folk's carry on that's that. You're invisible when you're sad.

BETELGEUSE (spoken):
Holy crap, a balled already? And such a bold departure from the original source material.
