Recorded on a Fostex X15 four-track in late 1990.

lyrics

*****************************
Icy dim blue fetish features, you breath
And appear through the air and seeth,
Brandishing a questionnaire, then leave
Me bewildered and dazed in my electric chair.
It makes my hair stand on end, my friend,
And you throw the switch again.
I guess it wouldn't make a difference
If I asked you not to do that and
I guess it wouldn't make a difference
If I asked you why, because your evil eye
Must have seen me sipping muscatel
In that cafe with that jezebel...
But how was I to know you'd laid claim to her plot?
Poor substitute for winning her heart,
How was I to know? How was I to know?
Jealousy... Can make a man a monster...
Jealousy... Look what it's doing to you...
Jealousy... A sledge-driven wedge between friends....
Jealousy... Look what it's doing to you....
Nicely through the weather reaches, your sleeve
Might be missing a button but don't pay heed,
It's not an important one you'll need,
A token through the pearly gates of greed
And yes, indeed, you'll meet a troll
Who'll ask you if you've got the toll
And yes, indeed, you'll meet a troll
Who'll ask you if you've got the toll...
I guess it wouldn't make a difference
If I asked you not to do that and
I guess it wouldn't make a difference
If I asked politely. You're wound so tightly
Because you think you've lost the fight, the
Other guys all get some nightly...
But how were they to know you'd staked her tent?
Poor substitute for her consent...
Jealousy... Can make a man a monster...
Jealousy... Look what it's doing to you...
Jealousy... A sledge-driven wedge between friends....
Jealousy... Look what it's doing to you....
Look what it's doing to you...
Look what it's doing to you...
