[intro]
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]
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
[verse]
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
