Lyrics
Oooooo Oooooo Oooooo And the sun still shines on Paradise Island Its radiance belies a deep dove deception And as warm waters bathe Paradise Island Its comfort conceals a cunning cold connivance Oooooo On the shimmering sands of Paradise Island Cages and chains prey on our conscience And as palm trees sway on Paradise Island In the shadows they look persona non grata I can see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay I can hear the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay I can feel the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay Do you know there are ghosts on Guantanamo Bay? Guantanamo Bay Can you see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Can you hear the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Can you feel the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Do you know there are ghosts on Guantanamo Bay? Guantanamo Bay And so ends all romantic notions Discard due process and redesign justice Detained by decree, starved of humanity Unaccusing, untried, unconvicted, unjustified Haunted voices echo in silence Thoughts and feelings suppressed in blindness Unseen faces imprisoned in darkness And we all remain guilty in our ignorance I can see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay I can hear the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay I can feel the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay Do you know there are ghosts on Guantanamo Bay? Guantanamo Bay Can you see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Can you hear the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Can you feel the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Do you know there are ghosts on Guantanamo Bay? Guantanamo Bay There are phantoms, apparitions These are the lost souls of Guantanamo Bay Guantanamo Bay Are they haunters, freedom tossers And the lost souls of Guantanamo Bay Guantanamo Bay I can see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay I can hear the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay I can feel the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay Do you know there are ghosts on Guantanamo Bay? Guantanamo Bay Can you see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Can you see the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Can you feel the ghosts of Guantanamo Bay? Do you know there are ghosts on Guantanamo Bay? Guantanamo Bay Oooooooo
