I wanna girl who is helpless and frail, who won't pull on my ponytail
[Incomprehensible] the broken toys are scattered in the attic
I could be, I could be your spooky girlfriend
I could be, I could be your spooky girlfriend"
And if she won't, her mother will do, 'cause when she does as she's told
Picture you with innocence and hurt
"Can't you see? I could be your spooky girlfriend
"Can't you see, could be, could be your spooky girlfriend
I could be, I could be your spooky girlfriend"
But that won't last
I wanna girl to turn my screw, to wind my watch, to buckle my shoe
I wanna girl who has no past, she's made up now
'Cause when she sits on my knee and then she whispers to me
But when she sits on my knee, I hear her whispers to me
And the newspapers play in the words of the fanatic
And the greeting cards are your most poetic lyric
We'll all turn platinum and gold
The shutter closes, exposes the shot
I wanna paint you with glitter and with dirt
She says, "Are you looking up my skirt?"
'Cause when the flashbulbs explode, she's such a sensitive soul
And the flat champagne is a sweet sugar syrup
When you say, "No", she says, "Why not?"
"I could be, I could be your spooky girlfriend
