Though you can't intimidate the trees

Though you can't intimidate the trees 
snowman sweating in a terrible breeze 
Put on your new pants and move out to France 
All the skeletons in your closet 
Are rummaging through your clothes 
Looking through your shoe boxes and pockets 
Gum wrappers and dumb love notes 

People say your brain is like cream cheese 
It takes the shape of any thing you please 
The dust from the trails under your fingernails 
The leaves in the Luxembourg garden 
Are showing their true colours 
They're blushing, they're begging your pardon 
Cause time's a jealous lover 

I recall the first time that you passed me by 
And I saw (and I saw) my demise (my demise) 
in your stained glass eyes 

The dust from the trails under your fingernails 
The leaves in the Luxembourg garden 
Are showing their true colours 
They're blushing, they're begging your pardon 
Cause time's a jealous lover 

Canaries singing through their Calico teeth 
Everything's exactly what it seems
