Specter

I couldn't keep my skin from crawling if I nailed it to the floor.
Two nights ago while I was driving,
I saw a girl walking I swear I've seen before.

My headlights seemed to penetrate her form.
She could not have been real, could not have been living.
I couldn't keep my skin from crawling if I nailed it to the floor.

This downward gazing girl, could she be an encore?
Or is my mind just creepily contriving?
I saw a girl walking I swear I've seen before.

Who was this girl that froze me to my core,
in black satin evening gown I was perceiving?
I couldn't keep my skin from crawling if I nailed it to the floor.

Was she an arousing apparition or misty metaphor?
Or just a girl in the shadows thriving.
I saw a girl walking I swear I've seen before.

Whether meant to be a charmer, or something to abhor,
In my mind she'll always be alive.
I couldn't keep my skin from crawling if I nailed it to the floor.
I saw a girl walking I swear I've seen before.
