Clever Contrasts in "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

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

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
