lyrics

i’m a ghost, i’m a ghost
i'm a wandering ghost
now see if you can find me
i’m a dog, i’m a dog
i’m a well-trained dog
now see if you can bind me down

now pull a little tighter
you know that I will like it
& you will too
be a little less nicer
no I won’t fight it
until we’re through

less is more
i’m a virgin, i’m a whore
now see if you can fix me
you can’t un-stitch your heart of bricks
& you know that i miss it
i heard from a friend that you got a new friend
& that makes me sad
i also heard that she touched you real good
so you won’t be coming back

well good!
that’s how the story ends
but remember how it started?
you were so shy but you looked just fine to me

you were ten feet tall on your pedestal
that I always made up for you
disposable, your old rag doll
itching for something new
you were never really clear
you want me far you want me near
but you want me none the less
it was just too hard so I push off the wall
falling down to second best

well good!
that’s how the story ends
but remember how it started?
you were so shy but you looked just fine to me

can you give me your all?
& i’ll give you my all
i can be your baby doll
