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
