I shan't close my eyes tonight,
I'm gonna look at you instead,
And when at last you sleep my love,
I'm gonna smash your lying head.

Everything you touch you tarnish,
Everything you've broken was mine,
Been standing right in front of me,
Oh Colorado beetle I fell for you.

You make me ache so badly,
I'd sooner rather be dead before my time,
Destined to be together,
Cursed with you,
Just as I'm a cursed with life.

Everything you touch you tarnish,
Everything you've broken was mine,
Been standing right in front of me,
Oh Colorado beetle I fell for you.

All the lies you ever told me,
I broke my spirit and my back for you,
All the time you never told me,
That the devil would be back for you.

Everything you touch you tarnish,
Everything you've broken was mine,
Been standing right in front of me,
Oh Colorado beetle I fell for you,
Oh Colorado beetle I fell for you,
Oh Colorado beetle I fell for you.
