lyrics

I have seen round triangles
I've counted out the days
It took me to formulate
And conceive the perfect phrase
That would efficaciously
Manage to displace
All the flames around your heart
Made of burning paper lace
Which made it hard to keep a grasp
Of any situation
Where I imagined that we overcame
Every single contraindication

Can't you see
What it is you mean to me
Oh please

Cause you're Clostridium to my Botulinum
You're the strings on my harmonium
You're the face I see when I go to sleep
You're the secret I wish that I could keep

But your interest in me
Was minimal at best
It took a dozen beta-blockers
Just to regulate my chest
To rid me of the heartbeat
And leave me with the thought
That I could win you over
And you could not be bought

Can't you see
What it is you mean to me
Oh please

Cause you're Clostridium to my Botulinum
You're the strings on my harmonium
You're the face I see when I go to sleep
You're the secret I wish that I could keep

And every single type of vaccination
Won't separate my cardiac cells
And eradicate this infatuation

Cause you're Clostridium to my Botulinum
You're the strings on my harmonium
You're the face I see when I go to sleep
You're the secret I wish that I could keep

And if like cures like
Then love needs love
I need your atoms
Or lack thereof
To reconstitute and stabilize
This contentment that i've devised

And every single contraindication
Could be mitigated by hands
Wrapped around your lymph node glands
