[Verse 1]
You stood beside
Me when I
Was out of my mind
I broke the glass
And you were there
To sweep it aside
[Refrain]
And if you leave me
Rest assured, it would kill me
[Verse 2]
I make a mess
And you'll be there
To help me undress
I'll be unclean
I'll be obscene
You'll be the rest
[Refrain]
And if you leave me
Rest assured, it would kill me
[Chorus]
Like an oleander
Light, white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (aahhh)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
[Verse 3]
I'm like a child
In a sty
I play with fire
I burn you right out
I burned your bible
You tried to cry
Put on a smile
[Refrain]
And if you leave me
Rest assured, it would kill me
Rest assured, if you leave
[Chorus]
Like an oleander
Light, white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
Oh, the oleander
Light, white leaves
Of an oleander
White, like me
[Outro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah, aaahhh...
Mmmm...3
