You were almost my downfall

You kissed my first, you kissed me first

You placed a wreath upon my head and then

I drank your wine, you danced with me.

Your name had changed since we first met.

Saffron laid in my bed

Naked and articulate

Told me I was wonderful and wasn't blubberous

And Book told me of the special Hell

But I kissed her still and then I fell

Kissed her still and then I fell

"Son of a --"

You were almost my downfall

You kissed me first, you kissed me first

You tried to do the same to our friend Wash

But his heart was true, he loved his wife

Your name had changed since we first met.

Saffron had took him out

Rigged my ship and then she ran

Took my shuttle and then she left

And Inara found me here

It was the good-night-kiss the doctor said

Narcotic compound on her lips

They joked and said that I'd been had

But we were headed for a trap, for a trap!

We were headed for a trap.

Saffron laid in a bed

Held a gun right to her head

Asked her what he real name was

And then I knocked her out

That wouldn't be the last of her

She tried to trick my crew again

And though I'm sitting in the desert, nude

She's in the trash where she belongs,

Where she belongs.

You were almost my downfall.

But we're even now.
