How Very Strange by Future Bible Heroes Lyrics

[Verse 1: Claudia Gonson Stephin Merritt]
How very strange I ever kissed you
A little aphrodisia
It seems so improbable now
A little anesthesia
How strange that when you left I missed you
I put a little heroin
I can't think why, I can't think how
In everything you took in

[Verse 2]
How very strange I once adored you
My hobby's domination
I thought you walked out of some dream
With a sideline in voodoo
But now the way I felt toward you
You're an abomination
I find puzzling in the extreme for this
I feel as you do

[Verse 3]
How very strange I was your cash cow
Everyone's good for something
Bought every round until you passed out
I think I like this rum thing
I wouldn't let you lick my trash now
I've got a whole new project
I spell your name with an umlaut
Your name? I don't recollect
[Verse 4]
How very strange I every chased you
My hobby's psychopharmacology
As though you were my heart's one goal
I give my love without apology
And how grotesque! When I embraced you
Loathing physical contact
It thrilled me to my very soul
I'd rather keep things abstract
How very strange I ever kissed you
