A banal story that would maybe not have ended in tragedy without the gun (!!)

He’s been ticking away
one more blood-sucking day
He’s the fella who’s
a Go-Getter who’s
worth every penny they pay

If he’s still clicking he may
find a reason today
[She’s acting strange]
The impervious one
Now so nervous one
feeling love fades away

He’s out there kicking
She’d like to start living
“a change for the better”
are words she wrote in her letter

Wannabe tycoon no honeymoon
She’s now crying as her lover dresses
It’s the taste of bitter honey

She’s fading away
He finds nothing to say
[Now feels the strain]
Denegation and self flagellation
Quite an end to his day

He comes home too soon that afternoon
It’s him now crying and her lover stresses
It’s the taste of bitter honey

Now they are caught
words come out faster that thought
too fast to keep things clean
“This makes me so bitter Honey”
The gun in his pocket is out like a rocket
The room spins once more
as they fall to the carpeted floor
then there’s a knock at the door

The cries, the hissing
snake eyes, the not missing
“a change for the better”
the words she wrote in her letter
