True Believer

[Verse 1]

Nightly, you retrace your steps again

To return to the scene of the crime

It's uncanny how you hover in the air

Of the wreckage that you left behind

[Chorus]

I want you but you're a poltergeist

I want you but, baby, the price is high

I want you and now I've said it twice

So, Mary, dim the lights

[Verse 2]

Really, when you come into the room

It's not helping me, seeing you down

It's not easy in this phosphorescent gloom

Telling waking dreams apart anyhow

[Chorus]

I want you but you're a poltergeist

I want you but, baby, the price is high

I want you and now I've said it twice

So, Mary, dim the lights

[Bridge]

Cups and saucers crashing in

But Houdini applauds the gag again

There no one's a true believer

[Chorus]

I want you but you're a poltergeist

I want you but, baby, the price is high

I want you and now I've said it twice

So, Mary, dim the lights

[Outro]

Cups and saucers crashing in

But Houdini applauds the gag again
