father john misty - one of us cannot be wrong lyrics

[verse 1]
i lit a thin green candle to make you jealous of me
but the room just filled up with mosquitos
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
and then i confess that i tortured the dress
that you wore for the world to look through

[verse 2]
i showed my heart to the doctor: he said i 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

[verse 3]
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
[verse 4]
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
