Stephin Merritt - I Am Ma Shih Ying lyrics

I am Ma Shih Ying the heroic cavalier
And I'll do anything to protect my sphere

But that's neither here nor there
For spring is in the air!
There are insects everywhere in my garden
And though my heart is made of steel
In early spring I begin to feel
My hard heart harden
And I dance, dance, dance
When my scorpion stings
And I burn, burn, burn
Off my butterflies' wings
Because I'm Ma Shih Ying the heroic cavalier
