If I Ever Thought You`d Be Lonely Lyrics

If I Ever Thought You`d Be Lonely

Hold a candle to a naked flame
Ask the atheist his Christian name
Try parachuting from a burning plane
Finding someone else you could blame

If I ever thought you`d be lonely
If I ever thought you`d be there
If I ever fought the alimony
Painted pony
You`d be there

Eskimo heart
Bedouin throat
A butcher trussed up in a camel hair coat
A crowning in the castle
A drowning in the moat
Ocean dried,
Desert afloat

If I ever thought you`d be lonely
If I  ever thought you`d be there
If I ever fought the alimony
My one and only
You`d be there

One for the lady,
One for the gent
Signatures in wet cement,
And if you ever ask,
What I meant then I`d never know,
Then I`d never know...
