Lyrics
Kept thinking I don’t want it this way I don’t want it this way I don’t want it this way
Kept saying take it away take it take yourself away
The socks that she wore kept her feet warm, yet
She still asked for my, she still asked for my, she still asked for my boots.
Then she cried like an angel
Like a stranger always does
So I wished for an angel
Like the stranger that I was
Summer came and summer went it
Didn’t seem like two years spent but
Dear it felt like two years rent had kept her by my side.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Merrily, merrily, merrily, marry me!
In the garden sitting guarding
All the sweat that fell from ecstasy in front of me
I was so high I could not breath.
As sons of plants invade the shores a headache broke and visions
Soared away…
And you went down on him
Like you went down on the world.
So who is he to you, does he know you’re such a precious little girl.
Kept sending signals through the epochs of delusion
Never quite to understand
How you moved on to keep a new dick (heart) warm.
Then she cried like an angel
Like a stranger always does
And she wept like a virtue
Never meant to hurt you if I had.
