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

I showed my heart to the doctor 
He said I'd 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

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.
