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 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...
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...
And is this what you wanted...
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...
And is this what you wanted...
I mean is this what you wanted...
That's right, is this what you wanted...
