lyrics

NARRATOR:
There goes Sicario
Funeral for a Foe
Pallbearers walking oh-so slow
Townsfolk are mourning them
The midwives and fishermen
This was the Lighthouse Man’s masterplan!

(Ahhhhs and weeping start)

LOCAL 1: He was a misunderstood genius!
LOCAL 2: His paintings touched me in ways no art has done before!
LOCAL 3: We all loved ‘im! Deep d’an we all loved ’im to bits

(Ahhhhs and weeping end)

RAY:
Who is that man I saw?
Standing at the rear...
Wearing a hooded shawl of cashmere.
Where have I seen that face?
Why does he sport a gown?
I think I better chase...him down

(Ahhhhs and weeping start)

LOCAL 1: He will be missed...we’ll miss him
LOCAL 2: I know not of his views or inspiration for the shipwrecks he depicts but it must have rooted from some inner turmoil

(Ahhhhs and weeping end)
There goes Sicario
Funeral for a Foe
Pallbearers walking oh...so slow
Townsfolk are mourning them
The midwives and fishermen
This was the Lighthouse Man’s masterplan!

LOCAL [Spoken]:
Goodbye, goodbye sicario… we love you.
