One Of Us Cannot Be Wrong Lyrics by Beck

Record Club: Songs of Leonard Cohen

2009

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
I showed my heart to the doctor
He said I just have to quit
Then he wrote himself a prescription 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
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
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
