I Am Ma Shih Ying - Stephin Merritt

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
