Like some softly whispered Amen
While the band played "Hey good lookin'"
She's going to extremes
She's pulling out the pin
Not one softly whispered Amen
As desperate as she seems
Just as a boxer will
This is her wedding day
And the next one begins
With someone or without
She'd take them down right now
Or is she thinking of him
She tears away the veil
She's knocking down some doors
Is she thinking of me
So she swept it off her face
She came out high and kicking
She's pulling out the pin
Nobody told her it was a sin
Her smile was out of place
They started laughing
You can really be redeemed
Where the world without her ends
Unbuttoning her dress
She shakes her head and it goes tumbling
So she's pulling out the pin
Let me find the words and say them
And the lights begin to dim
She's covering her mouth
Do you hear something ticking?
She's slipping off the hook
But if looks could kill
Full of shattered glass and mayhem
She's taping up her hands
And the smoke begins to fill
She's pulling out the pin
Did somebody tell her?
With her fingernails
As she starts to pull away
There's nothing more to say
She's tearing at the seams
Could she actually be?
There's just enough to make some man a mess
