Send Is This What You Wanted Ringtone to your Cell
You were the promise at dawn and I was the morning after
You were Jesus Christ, my Lord, I was the money lender
You were the sensitive 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?
And 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 seventeen
You lusted after so many, I lay here with one
You defied your solitude, I came through alone
You said 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?
And is this what you wanted to live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
I mean is this what you wanted to live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
That's right, is this what you wanted to live in a house that is haunted
By the ghost of you and me?
