Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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 were the horror and the beast of Babylon
I was Rin Tin Tin
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
You got old and wrinkled
I stayed seventeen
You lusted after so many, baby
I lay here with one
You defied your solitude
I came through alone
You said that you can't never love me
I undid your gown
[Verse 6]
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
