I needed you, I knew I was in danger

Of losing what I used to think was mine

You let me love you till I was a failure

Your beauty on my bruise like iodine

I asked you if a man could be forgiven

There are many ways a man can serve his time

You covered up that place I could not master

Compassion with the sting of iodine

Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine

Your fragrance with a fume of iodine

And pity in the room like iodine
      A                     Dm  C#  C  B     Gm F#  F E
Your sister fingers burned like iodine
    A                     Dm  C#  C  B     Gm F#  F E
And all my wanton lust was iodine
    A                     Dm  C#  C  B     Gm F#  F E
My masquerade of trust was iodine
    A                     Dm  C#  C  B     Gm F#  F E
And everywhere the flare of iodine
