She loves him still
In some odd way
She still crosses his mind from day to day
Deception
Prevarications
The cheating cover
Claiming undying love
And romancing another
While I stand alone
And listening
Betrayal rides the wind
I love you she says
As she waltzed off with him

They've misread him…
That quiet, carefree guy
All's not well
The calm is a really turbulent lie
Behind the cool exterior
Smolders a tempestuous fury 
As putrid as Montserratian sulphur
In my mind I see
So, so clearly
She's in his arms
And he in hers
As the shadow of death
Removes the covers
And in the quiet of a night
A vengeance fed
Carnage by the dawn's early light

Perhaps not today
Perhaps not even tomorrow
That's for the beast to know
And for you to discover
The hardest way
The true cost of your lover

Oh there is red, rich red
And a lust for blood in his eye
A cold fever on his mind
Somebody, somebody must die

Nothing more
Nothing less
Pretty Girl, Pretty Girl
You'll rue the day
You stepped into and out of my world
