The song with lyrics

Lyrics: Dr.Akopian: You know the trope? In story-telling it's a norm. When a person's in trouble a manifestation of their subconscious appears in the form of a... Dream Ghost! Giving advice you kinda already knew I’m a... Dream Ghost! I'm really just your mind working things through! It’s not clear if I'm hallucinated or actually magic! Let's leave it vague it's more interesting that way! I’m going to take you on a journey through time and space. And in the end you'll realize you knew the answer all along. Honestly, it's a bit of a waste to be a... Dream Ghost! Dream Ghost #1 & 2: We're other dream ghosts helping people on this plane! We're also Dream Ghosts! Dream Ghosts! While you're all asleep well all sing a refrain! Akopian with other Dream Ghosts: It'll never be clear if we're hallucinated or actually magic! And we're all women Cuz this job doesn't pay so well! Rebecca: Wow, so there are a lot of Dream Ghosts? Dr.Akopian: Yeah, a lot of people on this plane Are having all kinds of predicaments. Dream Ghost #2: This guy is deciding whether or not to leave his wife! Dream Ghost #1: This girl is wondering if she should terminate her pregnancy! Dr.Akopian: This lady's dreaming in Portuguese so I'm not sure what she wants! Dream Ghost #2: And this douche is actually agonizing over whether to buy or lease a new Porsche! Akopian with other Dream Ghosts: We are the Dream Ghosts! Dream Ghosts! Here to show you the proper way! We are the Dream Ghosts! Dream Ghosts! And the health care with this job is just okay! We'll help you with decisions if you're on the fence and were available for private events! We're the Dream Ghosts! Dream Ghosts! We wish our union health plan had Dental! Dream Ghosts! We're paying out of pocket for cleaning!
