One of Us Cannot Be Wrong

Lyrics

I lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
 Then the room just filled up with mosquitoes
 When they heard that my body was free
 Then I took the dust of 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
 Oh
 ♪
 I showed my heart to the doctor
 He said I'd just have to quit
 Then he wrote himself a prescription
 Then your name was written in it
 Then he locked himself in a library shelf
 With the details of our honeymoon
 Now I hear from the nurse, that he's doing much worse
 And his practice has all in a ruin
 ♪
 Oh, I heard of a saint who had loved you
 So I studied all night in his school
 Where he taught that the duty of lovers
 Is to tarnish the Golden Rule
 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
 Oh, an Eskimo showed me that movie
 He'd recently taken of you
 Now 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 back into your storm
 Please

 La da dah dah da da dah dah da da dah
 Aah
