[length: 04:26]
[00:07.52]I lit a thin green candle
[00:12.25]To make you jealous of me
[00:17.92]But the room just filled up with mosquitoes
[00:23.66]They heard that my body was free
[00:29.30]Then I took the dust from a long sleepless night
[00:34.79]And I put it in your little shoe
[00:40.45]And then I confess that I tortured the dress
[00:45.38]That you wore for the world to look through
[00:50.82]
[00:56.79]I showed my heart to the doctor
[01:02.55]He said I’d just have to quit
[01:07.85]Then he wrote himself a prescription
[01:12.94]And your name was mentioned in it
[01:18.54]Then he locked himself in a library shelf
[01:23.74]With the details of our honeymoon
[01:29.28]And I hear from the nurse that he’s gotten much worse
[01:34.04]And his practice is all in a ruin
[01:39.05]
[01:45.21]Yes I heard of a saint who had loved you
[01:51.37]So I studied all night in his school
[01:56.02]He taught that the duty of lovers
[02:01.02]Is to tarnish the golden rule
[02:06.04]And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
[02:11.46]He drowned himself in the pool
[02:17.57]His body is gone but back here on the lawn
[02:22.70]His spirit continues to drool
[02:27.15]
[02:33.68]An Eskimo showed me a movie
[02:38.43]He’d recently taken of you
[02:43.72]The poor man could hardly stop shivering
[02:49.48]His lips and his fingers were blue
[02:54.08]I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
[02:59.10]And I guess he just never got warm
[03:04.50]But you stand there so nice in your blizzard of ice
[03:09.16]Oh please, let me come into the storm
