Lyrics

Always

I should've known
With a boy like you
Your middle name is always
I'd always love you
Uh-huh yeah
You let the needle drop
I think that you could do so much better
Those conventions are taking their toll on you

The phantom is disguised
It's horrifyin' right before your eyes
The phantom is inside

And I should've known
With a boy like you
Your middle name is always
I'd always want you
Uh-huh yeah

The phantom is disguised
It's horrifyin' right before your eyes
The phantom is inside
It's hideous right before your eyes
The phantom he's watchin' you
The phantom is watchin' you
You
