lyrics

If I was king and you were queen,
I'd wrap myself in polythene,
And swim across the arctic seas,
In search of cures and remedies,
To rid you of your thought disease,
To find the cure that sets you free.

And when the flowers finally found,
I'll jump back in and turn around.
Take you to the only road,
You've ever walked when your alone.
But if you die before I'm home,
Don't cut the skin,
Release the bone.
