leedog23 Phantom Ocean has been on two shows with the band I play for, and I love to see them work live. This is a great look into what they set about making when they created this band, and these songs.

I brought you flowers I bought you lunch (notice me senpai) I stole your house key Made a copy (notice me senpai) I want to be your girlfriend, I want you to be mine I dream about you every night, you're always on my mind I made you breakfast I cleaned your desk (notice me senpai) I found your undies Wore them to class (notice me senpai) I want to be your girlfriend, I want you to be mine I dream about you every night, you're always on my mind I hope that one day, you'll notice all I do But until that day comes, I'll just keep watching you...SLEEP You came in with her I lost my shit (notice me senpai) I followed her home and beat her ass! (notice me senpai) She's in my basement She screams all night (notice me senpai) I cut off her finger And left it on your porch! (notice me senpai) I want to be your girlfriend, I want you to be mine I dream about you every night, you're always on my mind I want to be your girlfriend, I want you to be mine And if somebody touches you, their bones I'll have to grind

Mama Leeds had many children yeah and one more just wouldn't do Mama Leeds had many children yeah and one more just wouldn't do She said the devil take the next one Satan said that's what I'll do Well now Baby No. 13 Well he was born and he was strange I said Baby No. 13 Well he was born and he was strange Looked at his mama with his coal black eyes And she saw the devil Satan spread his blackened wings now on that poor unwanted boy I said the devil spread his wings on that poor unwanted boy He looked at his mama with his coal black eyes And she saw the devil Mama Leeds had many children yeah and one more just wouldn't do Mama Leeds had many children yeah and one more just wouldn't do She said the devil take the next one Satan took the rest home, too

It was the first time that someone held my hand with anything like tenderness, instead of reprimand And my pulse doubled up as I looked into your eyes And every last excuse I had was cut right down to size And they were nothing at all nothing at all The man said that God said, what we're doing is wrong But I don't think that God has said anything at all Don't believe a gospel of hatred and disgust Just believe in the power of an everlasting love Well I tried to deny what was in front of me the sweet and sad and secret truth that could set me free The guilt they planted deep inside flowered into bloom And I left my heart's desire forgotten and entombed Like it was nothing at all nothing at all The man said that God said, what we're doing's wrong But I don't think that God has said anything at all Don't believe a gospel of hatred and disgust Just believe in the power of an everlasting love Late too late I came around to what I had ignored and to the heart that I had left on that killing floor I found my truth and picked it up, looked into the eye And every last excuse I had was cut right down to size And they were nothing at all nothing at all The man said that God said, what we're doing's wrong But I don't think that God has said anything at all Don't believe a gospel of hatred and disgust Just believe in the power of an everlasting love

Tricky Ricky 02:07
Prowling through the city night desperate searching throat feels tight smell her from behind her street come to get my bloody treat In the house my little pet can't wait to feel her blood soaked neck Won't be happy when I'm done little grandma's my first one Tricky Ricky, He sneaks in will not stop until he wins does whatever, causes strife If you're bad he'll end your life Creeping in one good spring sleep Slaughter hubby just like sheep Go for Mrs.; misbehaves cause me to get in a rage Now she's made herself dead meat take her eyeballs as a treat Think I'll go again real soon Walk-in Killer now kills in twos Tricky Ricky, He sneaks in will not stop until he wins does whatever, causes strife If you're bad he'll end your life Doesn't matter who you are age you've greyed or ways you scar I will find you if he says make sure you are far past dead I am evil, love the thrill! If I smell you I will kill Tricky Ricky, He sneaks in will not stop until he wins does whatever, causes strife If you're bad he'll end your life

In the Pines 04:18
My girl, my girl, don't lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows. In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. Her husband was a railroad man, about a mile and a half from here. His head was found in the driving rain, but his body never was found. My girl, my girl, don't lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, don't lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, where will you go? I'm going where the cold wind blows. In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through. My girl, my girl, don't lie to me, tell me where did you sleep last night? In the pines, in the pines, where the sun don't ever shine. I would shiver the whole night through.
