One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong

I lit a thin green candle

To make you jealous of me

But the room just filled with mosquitos

They heard that my body was free

Then I took the dust from a long sleepless night

And I put it in your little shoe

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 perscription

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 us the duty of lovers

Was to tarnish the golden rule

And just when I was sure that his teachings were pure

He drowned himself in a 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

O please let me come into the storm
