Phantasm Lyrics

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
