Veni vidi vici
That's what I spelled out on my ouidja
Board so I came I saw and I conquered
For month or two
I said "Here I will build my palace
Under the aurora borealis
Spend every shortest day
And longest night with you
I never thought I'd stay for so long
But just like the Germans in the Yukon
I came for the romance
And I stayed 'cause I forgot to leave
But now I've left my heart at the Westmark Hotel
And I think I left my dignity there as well
I think a northern life is not the life for me
And the evil of the dark is a religious myth
The real terror is the folks you have to share the dark with
And when it starts to feel like home
Well they call it Stockholm Syndrome
Now it's close to time to go
I can't see the snowbanks through the snow
A kiss on the cheek
And one last drink for the road
And I never thought I'd stay for so long
But just like the Germans in the Yukon
I came for the romance
And I stayed 'cause I forgot to leave
But now I've left my heart at the Westmark Hotel
And I think I left my dignity there as well
I guess a northern life is not the life for me
