One of Us Cannot Be Wrong

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[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
