《The Peeled Birch》歌词

[00:00:02] One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong - Drunk

[00:00:04] I lit a thin green candle,

[00:00:12] To make you jealous of me.

[00:00:20] But the room just filled up with mosquitos,

[00:00:29] They heard that my body was free.

[00:00:37] Then I took the dust of a long sleepless night

[00:00:46] And I put it in your little shoe.

[00:00:54] And then I confess that I tortured the dress

[00:01:03] That you wore for the world to look through.

[00:01:15] I showed my heart to the doctor:

[00:01:24] He said I just have to quit.

[00:01:32] Then he wrote himself a prescription,

[00:01:41] And your name was mentioned in it!

[00:01:49] Then he locked himself in a library shelf

[00:01:58] With the details of our honeymoon,

[00:02:06] And I hear from the nurse

[00:02:11] That he's gotten much worse

[00:02:15] And his practice is all in a ruin.

[00:03:48] I heard of a saint who had loved you,

[00:03:56] So I studied all night in his school.

[00:04:04] He taught that the duty of lovers

[00:04:12] Is to tarnish the golden rule.

[00:04:21] And just when I was sure

[00:04:25] That his teachings were pure

[00:04:29] He drowned himself in the pool.

[00:04:38] His body is gone but back here on the lawn

[00:04:46] His spirit continues to drool.

[00:04:59] An Eskimo showed me a movie

[00:05:07] He'd recently taken of you:

[00:05:16] The poor man could hardly stop shivering,

[00:05:24] His lips and his fingers were blue.

[00:05:33] I suppose that he froze when the wind took your clothes

[00:05:41] And I guess he just never got warm.

[00:05:50] But you stand there so nice, in your blizzard of ice,

[00:05:58] Oh please let me come into the storm.

[00:06:06] Oh please let me come into the storm.
