You stood beside me when I was out of my mind I broke the glass and you were there to sweep it aside And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me I make a mess and you’ll be there to help me undress I’ll be unclean, I’ll be obscene – you be the rest And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me Like an oleander Like white leaves Of an oleander White, like me I’m like the child in a sty, I play with fire I burn you right out, I burned your bible You tried to cry – could only smile And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me Rest assured, if you leave Like an oleander Like white leaves Of an oleander White like me Oh, the oleander White white leaves Of an oleander White like me Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah! Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
