You were the promise at d awn,

I was the morning aft er.

You were Jesus Christ my L ord,

I was the money len der.

You were the sensitive woman,

I was the very reverend Freud.

You were the manual orgasm,

I was the dirty little b oy.

And is this what you wanted

To live in a house that is ha unted

By the ghost of you and me ?

You were Marlon Bra ndo

I was Steve McQu een

You were K.Y. Jel ly

I was Vasel ine

You were the father of modern medicine

I was Mr. Clean

You were the whore and the beast of Babylon

I was Rin Tin T in

And is this what you wanted

To live in a house that is ha unted

By the ghost of you and me ?

You got old and wrin kled

I stayed sevent een

You lusted after so many

I lay here with o ne

You defied your solitude

I came through alone

You said you could never love me

I undid your g own

And is this what you wanted

To live in a house that is ha unted

By the ghost of you and me ?
