daddy longlegs / baby son
Phantom love I will chase in exile sweet orlean down St. Christopher
Without armor of audience (fancy studs) till your beast lover (lovermen) turn gold child
In search of a softer quieter lie
She moves in a ballerina suit tight and quick
I'm steppin' in buckle boots slick and sharp
Chase the little hood down through the fire wood
And we'll walk together once again in search of that softer quieter lie
And I'll really believe that I want you
And you'll really believe you need me
Did I tell you bobby I got me a phantom love
