lyrics

Who’s seen the phantom girl? Who’s seen the phantom girl?

She seemed to vanish almost instantly,
The minute he tarnished his credibility.
I’d like to think she’s thought of me though unlikely is my guess.
She didn’t like Mondays and the rest of the week was not my best.

Who’s seen the phantom girl? Who’s seen the phantom girl?

Singing My Best Friend’s Girl with my best friend’s girlfriend,
In a car filled with irony and clapping hands.
I’d like to think she’s thought of me though it sounds ridiculous.
She didn’t like Mondays and the rest of the week was not my best.

Who’s seen the phantom girl?
Who ooh?

Who has seen the summer shaped lips and the funky glasses?
I remember her skipping hearts while I was skipping classes.
I learned all my lessons well in the name of Elvis,
While being drawn into the arms of her magnetic forces.

Who’s seen the phantom girl?

Giving up the ghost is never and option,
When you’re being driven by wild delusion.
I used to think we were so well suited, even tailor made.
Still she exited the party early and left me under my lamp shade.

Who’s seen the phantom girl? Who’s seen the phantom girl?
Who ooh?
