Lyrics

[00:06.77] I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
[00:19.08] the room filled up with mosquitoes
[00:25.02] they heard that my body was free
[00:31.14] and I took the dust of a long sleepless night
[00:37.14] and I put it in your little shoe
[00:43.27] and I must confess that I tortured the dress
[00:49.02] that you wore for the world to look through
[01:01.58] and I showed my heart to the doctor
[01:07.58] he said, ‘you just have to quit
[01:13.83] then he wrote himself a prescription
[01:19.70] and your name was mentioned in it
[01:25.83] then he locked himself in a library shelf
[01:31.89] with the details of our honeymoon
[01:38.26] and I hear from the nurse that he’s gotten much worse
[01:44.39] and his practice is all in a ruin
[01:56.86] I once knew a saint who had loved you
[02:02.92] I studied all night in his school
[02:09.24] he taught that the duty of lovers
[02:15.17] was to tarnish the golden rule
[02:21.55] and just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
[02:27.61] he drowned himself in the pool
[02:33.92] his body is gone, but out here on the lawn
[02:40.17] his spirit continues to drool
[02:52.79] an Eskimo showed me a movie
[02:58.73] he’d recently taken of you
[03:05.04] the poor man could hardly stop shivering
[03:11.04] his lips and his fingers were blue
[03:17.11] I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
[03:22.98] and I guess he just never got warm
[03:29.48] but you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice
[03:35.54] please let me come into your storm
