The White Stripes - Isis lyrics

I married Isis on the fifth day of May But I could not hold on to her very long So I cut off my hair and I rode straight away To the wild unknown country where I could not go wrong I came to a high place of darkness and light The dividing line ran through the center of town I hitched up my pony to a post on the right Went in to a laundry to wash my clothes down A man in the corner he approached me for a match I knew right away he was not ordinary He said "Are you looking for something easy to catch ?" I said "I got no money". He said "That ain't necessary" We set out that night for the cold in the North I gave him my blanket he gave me his word I said "Where are we going ?" he said "We'd be back by the fourth" I said "That's the best new that I've ever heard" I was thinking about turquoise I was thinking about gold I was thinking about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace As we rode through the canyons through the devilish cold I was thinking about Isis how she thought I was so reckless How she told me that one day we meet up again And things would be different the next time we wed If I only could hang on and just be her friend I still can remember all the best things she said Well I picked up his body and I dragged him inside I threw him down in the hole and I put back the cover I said a quick prayer and then I felt satisfied I rushed back to find Isis just to tell her I love her She was there in the meadow where the creek used to rise Blinded by sleep and in need of a bed I came in from the East with the sun in my eyes I cursed her one time then I rode on ahead Well I said "Where ya been ?" she said "No place special ?" She said "You look different" I said "Well I guess" She said "You been gone" I said "That's only natural" She said "You gonna stay ?" I said "If you want me to, Yes " Oh Isis oh Isis you're a mystical child What drives me to you is what drives me insane I can remember the way that you smiled On the fifth day of May in the drizzling rain
