Grant-Lee Phillips - True Believer lyrics

[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
