You were writhing on the floor like a moth in molasses
Whoever taught you to move your body like that?
Goose pimples just vanished like some out of date acid
Whoever taught you to scream like that?

Maybe someday I could move like you
(Maybe someday I could move like you)
Well I'm not looking for a holy ghost.
Maybe someday I could scream like you
(Maybe someday I could scream like you)
Well I'm not looking for a holy ghost.

You were crying on the shoulders of the men in the shadows
Whoever taught you to sell your sex like that?
I'm thinking two halos in a stained glass window
Jesus, strangers are as strange as that

Maybe someday I could move like you
(Maybe someday I could move like you)
Well I'm not looking for a holy ghost.
Maybe someday I could scream like you
(Maybe someday I could scream like you)
Well I'm not looking for a holy ghost.

    General Comment:At the end, it sounds like it alternates between "I've got your lips" and "I've got your kisses" and "Wunderbar, wunderbar, you could be wunderbar" (wonderful).

    Lyric Correction:Taken from the lyrics booklet (minor corrections):

    You were writhing on the floor
    Like a moth in molasses
    Who ever taught you to move your body like that?
    Goose pimpled, yelled Spanish
    Like some out of date acid
    Who ever taught you to scream like that?

    Maybe someday I could move like you
    But I'm not looking for a holy ghost.
    Maybe someday I can scream like you
    But I'm not looking for a holy ghost.

    You were crying on the shoulders
    Of the men in the shadows
    Who ever taught you to sell your sex like that?
    I'm thinking through halos
    In a stained glass window
    "Jesus, strangers are as strange as that"

    Maybe someday I could move like you
    But I'm not looking for a holy ghost.
    Maybe someday I can scream like you
    But I'm not looking for a holy ghost
