lyrics

I have a phantom in my heart
She writes the notes
On my guitar
At night when I am
Chasing after her

I see a mystic reading stars
And giving orders
From afar
And now the phantoms
Picking pockets
Like a thief steals air

this phantom love affair
is like a secret already shared

it’s a long gone
whisper with a long gone
Way of entrancing me

The modest dress she wears
Is untied just below her hair

And a call out to her
is like water falling on electricity

lah tee dah
lah tee dah

waking doesn’t end
the nighttime fantasy

emptiness is dancing
with a phantom in me

Phantom, phantom in my heart
beating blood,
and bleeding dark
you are tempting me
with loneliness

Weeping woman let me
Touch you where my
Brokenness assaults you
And we’ll talk to stars
And read their blinking
cryptic notes

I don’t got much time to be with you
I’ve got lifetimes coming soon

we’ll get a little older
But the dreams still bloom
Like a mustard seed

Your phantom body is all of my wanting
Your running, your running, your running
And we’re dying, baby,
So let’s live, let’s live, let’s love, let’s love

Lah tee dah
