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?
