The Ghost of Lilly Kane
Seanan McGuire

The ghost of Lilly Kane
Does not drink cheap champagne;
It's belladonna bourbon all the way.
Although her life is past,
She's still the upper class
Enjoying her eternal holiday.

Heaven has the best hotels, the service is exclusive.
The rooms are always perfect and the staff is not elusive,
And the nightclubs down in Hades are the best there's ever been --
Say what you like about the locals, they've got the copyright on sin, oh,

The ghost of Lilly Kane
Subscribes to this refrain,
Says 'Life is short, enjoy it while it lasts.
Don't try to hedge your bets --
You're bound to have regrets,
But in the end it's over way too fast.

Life is not a game that has a clear and present winner,
And I think you'll find the line is fine between the saint and sinner.
They say you could die tomorrow, well, believe me, I should know.
You've only got a little while, so have some fun before you go,' oh,

And Lilly isn't happy things turned out the way they did;
Sure it's fun to be a phantom, but she was happy as a kid,
And she wishes she could tell them she's all right.
She spends her days asleep in Heaven, but she's raising Hell at night, oh,

The ghost of Lilly Kane
Sees no need to complain
Although there was so much she never tried.
She took her own advice
And listed every vice
She'd like to test -- and time is on her side.

She wishes she'd lived longer, 'cause she liked the life she had,
She was good at being good, but she was best at being bad,
And she knows that when her friends arrive, they'll know it's her on sight,
Because she spends her days in Heaven, but she raises Hell at night.
Sweet Lilly spends her days in Heaven, and she raises Hell all night.
