Eyes like a storm that you want to get lost in,
Her vibe  said run, but my heart just said caution.
Always sat in the shadows, her seat was always last
Couldn’t get a comment out of her that wasn’t smart ass.

She wasn’t pretty in  the conventional sense—
But had that icy stare that made  me go tense
I might be crazy, and you might all laugh 
But my first love was the crazy girl from The Craft

[Hook-Female vocals]
Nancy Downs was my childhood crush
Chasing dangerous women and now my life’s fucked
She got me addicted to crazy and I know that it’s tragic 
Now I’m bewitched by that bad, Goth girl magic

[Verse 2 – male vocals]
Started clockin’ patterns in the girls I’d date,
Dark clothes, dark hobbies, and an unbalanced mental state
One’s got a tarot deck, trauma, and a pet snake
She said her ex “disappeared” down by the lake.

One drank blood, and enjoyed fire-dancin’. ,
She had a shrine built to Marilyn Manson.
Took me way too long to hear the alarms ,
Snuck out when she was carving my name into her arms.

Long boots , leather, and candle lit rooms
Getting down in the cemetery on the table tombs.
Always keep your sneakers laced up in case she gives chase see
You gotta be prepared when you stick it in crazy…

[Hook-female vocals]
Nancy Downs was the start of my doom
Now I’m fallin’ for every witch in the room
She taught me to dance with the manic and tragic
Now I’m cursed by that bad, Goth girl magic

[Verse 3]
Broke up with one and didn’t get far,
Before she keyed a pentagram in the hood of my car
One got jealous and called me a liar. 
Then turned around and set my hoodie on fire

Broke out in a rash because my hand lotion.
Had been poisoned with a homemade love potion
One said: “all I need is closure, babe,”
Then woke up half buried in a new shallow grave.

Now I check every drink for a shimmer or scent,
And every date leaves me scratched up, bruised and spent.
It’s not dating, it’s an all out war,
And I still swipe right on the girls from the Oddities store.

[Hook-female vocals]
Nancy Downs left a mark on my soul
Now I chase broken hearts like it’s outta control
She made chaos feel like love, it’s classic
Still trapped in that bad, Goth girl magic

[Verse 1 -male vocals] She had that smudged eyeliner, that matched her black lips, Said “God is dead” in PHIL classes she didn’t skip Black knee high boots draggin’ like a curse on the floor, Wore her rage like a coat bought from the thrift store. Eyes like a storm that you want to get lost in, Her vibe said run, but my heart just said caution. Always sat in the shadows, her seat was always last Couldn’t get a comment out of her that wasn’t smart ass.
