Intro :                       I needed you I knew I was in danger Of losing what I used to think was mine You let me love you till I was a failure You let me love you till I was a failure Your beauty on my bruise like iodine                       I asked you if a man could be forgiven And though I failed at love was this a crime? You said Don't worry don't worry darling You said Don't worry don't you worry darling There are many ways a man can serve his time                 You covered up that place I could not master It wasn't dark enough to shut my eyes So I was with you O sweet compassion Yes I was with you O sweet compassion Compassion with the sting of iodine                        Your saintly kisses reeked of iodine                       Your fragrance with a fume of iodine                       And pity in the room like iodine                           Your sister fingers burned like iodine                       And all my wanton lust was iodine                          My masquerade of trust was iodine                          And everywhere the flare of iodine
