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 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... --- Is This What You Wanted - Leonard Cohen
