Intro: A

A                   Bm     D                      A
I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
                                     Bm           D    
But the room just filled up with mosquitos, they heard 
                   E
that my body was free
     F#m                   C#m                       
Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night and I 
 D                      A
put it in your little shoe
      Bm                   G                          
And then I confess that I tortured the dress that you 
 Bm           A               G     A
wore for the world to look through

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

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

La, la ,la ,la...
