I lit a green candle to make you jealous of me
Then the room just filled up with mosquitoes
When they heard that my body was free
Now I took the dust of a long, sleepless night
And I put it in your little shoe
Then I confessed that I tortured the dress
That you wore for the world to look through
I showed my heart to the doctor, he said I'd just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription
Then your name was written in it
Then he locked himself in a library shelf
With the details of our honeymoon
Now I hear from his nurse, that he's doin' much worse
And his practice has all in a ruin
Oh, I heard of the saint who had loved you
So I studied all night in his school
There he taught that the duty of lovers is to tarnish the Golden Rule
Just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
He drowned himself in the pool
Oh, he drowned himself in the pool
Oh, an Eskimo showed me that movie he had recently taken of you
Now the poor man could hardly stop shivering
His lips and his fingers were blue
I suppose 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 back into your storm
Please
