Phantasm
Goosebumps in the night
I thought I lived alone
Secrets lovely dark and deep
Thrill me to the bone
I sense her presence
She haunts my house
Don't think just anyone
Can trap this mouse
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that she's gone
I sense her at the door
She's jiggling the latch
Such a capricious
Bandersnatch
Oh call the priest
To exorcize
But when you come along
She's in disguise
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that she's gone
She hates my lovers
Though she's winked at some
Beckoning mystery
How she could become
She only shows herself
When she feels safe with me
You'll only meet her if you
Tickle her fancy
I've tried sage and I've tried thyme
Hours coaxing this phantom of mine
She won't come when I call
Yes I'm bewitched I'm seeking her thrall
My voice just echoes in the chasm
Where are you my sweet phantasm
She calls the shots
Does as she pleases
I've tried science
I've asked Jesus
It's hide and seek
The blind man's buff
Patience tried
Hope you ain't had enough
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
and just like that she's gone
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that
I thought I lived alone
Secrets lovely dark and deep
Thrill me to the bone
I sense her presence
She haunts my house
Don't think just anyone
Can trap this mouse
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that she's gone
I sense her at the door
She's jiggling the latch
Such a capricious
Bandersnatch
Oh call the priest
To exorcize
But when you come along
She's in disguise
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that she's gone
She hates my lovers
Though she's winked at some
Beckoning mystery
How she could become
She only shows herself
When she feels safe with me
You'll only meet her if you
Tickle her fancy
I've tried sage and I've tried thyme
Hours coaxing this phantom of mine
She won't come when I call
Yes I'm bewitched I'm seeking her thrall
My voice just echoes in the chasm
Where are you my sweet phantasm
She calls the shots
Does as she pleases
I've tried science
I've asked Jesus
It's hide and seek
The blind man's buff
Patience tried
Hope you ain't had enough
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
and just like that she's gone
She starts, she flies
She reads me like a poem
She startles, she shies
And just like that
