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'll be the rest
And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me

Like an oleander
White 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, put on a smile

And if you leave me, rest assured, it would kill me
Rest assured, if you leave

Like an oleander
White white leaves
Of an oleander
White like me
Oh, the 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!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!
