Is This What You Wanted
You were the promise at dawn
I was the morning after
You were Jesus Christ, my Lord
I was the money lender
You were the sensuous woman
I was the very reverend Freud
You were the manual orgasm
I was the dirty little boy
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
You were Marlon Brando
I was Steve Mcqueen
You were K.Y. Jelly
I was vaseline
You were the father of modern medicine
I was Mr. Clean
You where the whore and the beast of Babylon
I was Rin Tin Tin
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Yeah, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
You got old and wrinkled
I stayed 17
You lusted after so many, baby
I lay here with one
You defined your solitude
I came through alone
You said that you could never love me
I undid your gown
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Yeah, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Oh, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Yeah, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Get down
I was the morning after
You were Jesus Christ, my Lord
I was the money lender
You were the sensuous woman
I was the very reverend Freud
You were the manual orgasm
I was the dirty little boy
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
You were Marlon Brando
I was Steve Mcqueen
You were K.Y. Jelly
I was vaseline
You were the father of modern medicine
I was Mr. Clean
You where the whore and the beast of Babylon
I was Rin Tin Tin
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Yeah, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
You got old and wrinkled
I stayed 17
You lusted after so many, baby
I lay here with one
You defined your solitude
I came through alone
You said that you could never love me
I undid your gown
And is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Yeah, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Oh, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Yeah, is this what you wanted
To live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
Get down
