Is This What You Wanted

Is This What You Wanted
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 were 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?
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 seventeen
You lusted after so many, baby
I lay here with one
You defied your solitude
I came through alone
And 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?
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?

A través de comparaciones ingeniosas y audaces, los versos retratan un juego de opuestos entre dos amantes: uno representado como promesa, divinidad y figura icónica, mientras que el otro encarna la mundanidad, la suciedad y la falibilidad...
