lyrics

I did not mean to shatter your faith
you can build the first church in outer space
you can go to Paris and work for a firm
you can do anything you want, babe but it might make me squirm

No expectations, no laughs with the girl from paradise past
she's playing patty-cake with the devil
and the ghost from paradise past

My passionflower, my passion killer
I'm very sorry darlin' wouldn't let me deliver
you asked me to marry, you slipped a hot strawberry
over my finger like a wedding ring

I went to visit the rainy woman
she read me my fortune and she cooked me dinner
her tent flap closed as the stars did hiss
I anointed your mischief with a clumsy kiss
