I found out about her
Her name's mississippi isabel
She grows wild strawberries
She's made of ivory and pearl.

To look at the universe
She'd abandoned the world
I go with her back to the darkness
I'd give my life for this girl

I rode around on my bicycle
All the way in the rain
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
And she never kissed me again. [x2]

Her beauty knows no tick of time
She's the song of the nightingale
The torturer, the remedy and the tragedy
In the passionate tale

And I begged for forgiveness for the way that I am
And I hope she doesn't blame men for the inelegance of men

I rode around on my bicycle
All the way in the rain
She kissed me once I took her out for lunch
And she never kissed me again
