[00:06.77]	I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
[00:19.08]	the room filled up with mosquitoes
[00:25.02]	they heard that my body was free
[00:31.14]	and I took the dust of a long sleepless night
[00:37.14]	and I put it in your little shoe
[00:43.27]	and I must confess that I tortured the dress
[00:49.02]	that you wore for the world to look through
[01:01.58]	and I showed my heart to the doctor
[01:07.58]	he said, ‘you just have to quit
[01:13.83]	then he wrote himself a prescription
[01:19.70]	and your name was mentioned in it
[01:25.83]	then he locked himself in a library shelf
[01:31.89]	with the details of our honeymoon
[01:38.26]	and I hear from the nurse that he’s gotten much worse
[01:44.39]	and his practice is all in a ruin
[01:56.86]	I once knew a saint who had loved you
[02:02.92]	I studied all night in his school
[02:09.24]	he taught that the duty of lovers
[02:15.17]	was to tarnish the golden rule
[02:21.55]	and just when I was sure that his teachings were pure
[02:27.61]	he drowned himself in the pool
[02:33.92]	his body is gone, but out here on the lawn
[02:40.17]	his spirit continues to drool
[02:52.79]	an Eskimo showed me a movie
[02:58.73]	he’d recently taken of you
[03:05.04]	the poor man could hardly stop shivering
[03:11.04]	his lips and his fingers were blue
[03:17.11]	I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes
[03:22.98]	and I guess he just never got warm
[03:29.48]	but you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice
[03:35.54]	please let me come into your storm

[00:06.77]	I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
[00:19.08]	the room filled up with mosquitoes
[00:25.02]	they heard that my body was free
[00:31.14]	and I took the dust of a long sleepless night
[00:37.14]	and I put it in your little shoe
[00:43.27]	and I must confess that I tortured the dress
