Lyrics

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
