Lyrics
Oleander
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You stood beside me when I was out of my mind
I broke the glass and you were there to sweep it aside
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me
I make a mess and you’ll be there to help me undress
I’ll be unclean, I’ll be obscene – you be the rest
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me
Like an oleander
Like white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
I’m like the child in a sty, I play with fire
I burn you right out, I burned your bible
You tried to cry – could only smile
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me
Rest assured, if you leave
Like an oleander
Like white leaves
Of an oleander
White like me
Oh, the oleander
White white leaves
Of an oleander
White like me
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
