| Intro: |
| I lit a thin green candle |
| to make you jealous of me |
| But the room just filled up with mosquitos |
| they heard that my body was free |
| Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night |
| and I put it in your little shoe |
| And then I confess that I tortured the dress |
| that you wore for the world to look through |
| I showed my heart to the doctor |
| he said I just have to quit |
| Then he wrote himself a prescription |
| and your name was mentioned in it |
| Then he locked himself in a library shelf |
| with the details of our honeymoon |
| And I hear from the nurse that he's gotten |
| much worse and his practice is all in a ruin |
| I heard of a saint who had loved you |
| so I studied all night in his school |
| He taught that the duty of lovers |
| is to tarnish the golden rule |
| And just when I was sure that his teachings |
| were pure he drowned himself in the pool |
| His body is gone but back here on the lawn |
| his spirit continues to drool |
| Bridge: |
| x4 |
| An Eskimo showed me a movie |
| he'd recently taken of you |
| The poor man could hardly stop shivering |
| his lips and his fingers were blue |
| I suppose that he froze when the wind |
| took your clothes and I guess he just never got warm |
| But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice |
| oh please let me come into the storm |
