Intro
Verse 1
I lit a thin green candle
to make you jealous of me
but the room just filled up with mosquitoes
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
Verse 2
I showed my heart to the doctor
he said I'd just have to quit
then he wrote himself a perscription
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
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
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
