MEGAFLAME

Lyrics

A Man walked out the diner on old Bella Place
Broken pair of glasses hangin’ off his face
He’ll never see out those frames again
Old Hank made sure when he bashed them in
Man had caught the eye of Hank’s beautiful wife
Woman he adored for whom he’d give his life
Jumped across the table, grabbed the man by his shirt
Put fists to his face to be sure he was hurt

If you’ve never thought of murder, you’ve never been in love
Felt rage in your heart like lightning from above
Said if you’ve never thought of murder, you’ve never been in love
Broken and betrayed like a shot-down dove

A redheaded woman with a weathered face
Was pacing on the corner of Shotwell and Grace
She knew she’d seen it comin, had known from the start
Now sorrow and rage plagued her wounded heart
With a smokin’ gun in her pocket and tears in her eyes
She could still hear the sound of their pleads and cries
Caught her man in bed with that ol’ Edna Rye
Friends for three decades, then Edna stole her guy

If you’ve never thought of murder, you’ve never been in love
Felt rage in your heart like lightning from above
Said if you’ve never thought of murder, you’ve never been in love
Broken and betrayed like a shot-down dove

Footsteps fell on a dark stairway in an old part of town
She hoped no one heard the thud as they’d fallen to the ground
She waited for the lovers outside the midnight cabaret
She compiled all her evidence and knew for sure that he strayed
Naturally charismatic, he charmed all the chorus girls
There was much to temp him with the lingerie and pearls
She thought she was his leading lady, that they’d be paired for life
When she made her discovery, she set to sharpening her knife

If you’ve never thought of murder, you’ve never been in love
Felt rage in your heart like lightning from above
Said if you’ve never thought of murder, you’ve never been in love
Broken and betrayed
Shattered and dismayed
Broken and betrayed
like a shot-down dove
